Flamengo's stance on signing Luiz Henrique, ex-Botafogo | OneFootball

How are Flamengo’s negotiations for Luiz Henrique going?

Luiz Henrique is Flamengo’s new target in this transfer window. The Rubro-Negro even wants to have the player available for the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Cruzeiro. However, Fla does not feel pressured by Conmebol’s registration deadline.

According to reporting by Mônica Alves of Coluna do Fla, Flamengo is not worried about the player registration deadline for the Copa Libertadores round of 16. In other words, even if they are unable to have Luiz Henrique in time for the matches against Cruzeiro, the Rubro-Negro will remain focused on signing the forward.

What is the Libertadores registration deadline?

The teams that will play in the Copa Libertadores round of 16 have until 6 p.m. Brasília time this Friday (07) to submit their list of registered players to Conmebol. In addition, the competition’s regulations allow five player changes for this stage.

How much will Flamengo pay to sign Luiz Henrique?

Flamengo’s offer to sign Luiz Henrique is around 30 million euros (R$ 177 million). However, the Rubro-Negro still needs to reach an agreement with Zenit (RUS) on how the payment will be made.

In addition, if the deal is completed for that amount, Luiz Henrique would become the second most expensive player in Flamengo’s history, behind only Lucas Paquetá. The former West Ham (ENG) midfielder cost R$ 315.6 million for Mengão at the beginning of 2026.

Has Flamengo already tried to sign Luiz Henrique?

The forward came close to joining Flamengo at the end of 2023. At the time, the Rubro-Negro had already made significant progress in an agreement with Real Betis (ESP), where Luiz Henrique was playing. However, John Textor stepped in at the last moment and managed to take the player to Botafogo.

Now, Luiz Henrique is once again on Flamengo’s radar in this transfer window. It is worth noting that Thiago Almada was the Rubro-Negro’s “Plan A,” but the board advanced negotiations with the Zenit forward after the midfielder preferred River Plate’s (ARG) offer.
