Luiz Henrique of Zenit (RUS) could be arrested in Russia for accumulating unpaid traffic fines. As a result, the player who was linked with Flamengo could face up to 15 days in detention, according to local legislation.

According to the Russian outlet Mash na Esporte, the 52 traffic violations total 82,000 rubles, around R$ 5,400. Of that amount, 46 were allegedly for speeding in the former Botafogo player’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

Also according to the report, the footballer has not paid the infractions since May 2025. So, in addition to the detention period, Russian law may also impose up to 50 hours of community service on the offender.

Is Flamengo interested in signing Luiz Henrique?

— We are very happy with the squad we have. But we can’t stop looking at the opportunities and possibilities that appear on the market. There are a huge number of players on our radar who are not necessarily within reach for us at this moment — said Bap in May of this year, adding:

— But we are always watching for openings. Just like with Paquetá. If Paquetá had wanted to stay in Europe, there would have been no way for us to compete with a European offer. That depends on many variables that are not just about desire or the money the club has. But if there are possibilities, of course Flamengo will consider it — he emphasized.

In addition, Coluna do Fla has already learned that the Most Beloved does indeed want to sign a fast winger, which describes part of Luiz Henrique’s skill set. However, Mengo’s focus at the moment is on the possibility of signing Thiago Almada.

Is this the first time Flamengo has shown interest in Luiz Henrique?

Before the forward played for Botafogo, the Most Beloved tried to sign the winger, who was at Real Betis (ESP), in 2024. However, the player went to Mengo’s rival, where he won the Brasileirão and the Copa Libertadores.
