Flamengo in talks over Luiz Henrique as move stalls | OneFootball

Flamengo’s pursuit of Luiz Henrique has stirred supporters after the player’s agent posted a photo from Rio de Janeiro. According to Coluna Do Fla, agent William Bento met club officials in the city as impatience grows in the stands.

Bento and football director José Boto were also seen speaking in Porto Alegre while Flamengo faced Internacional. Fans questioned whether a deal could be wrapped up in time for Libertadores registration.

Talks are currently stalled because the club president has not authorised sending a proposal to Zenit (RUS). The mooted package, 30 million euros plus 5 million euros in bonuses, was viewed as beyond the budget, with payment planned in up to three instalments.

The deadline to register players for the Libertadores last 16 is Friday 07. Even if Luiz Henrique is not signed in time to face Cruzeiro, Flamengo plan to continue their push for the winger.

Attention also turns to the pitch, with Flamengo hosting Vitória at the Maracanã on Sunday 09 at 19:30, Brasília time, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
