Part of Flamengo’s fanbase is growing impatient for the club to announce a signing, such as Luiz Henrique. So, the Rubro-Negro fans went crazy over the photo the forward’s agent posted in Rio de Janeiro.
See:
“Could it be? I highly doubt they’ll sort everything out today in time to register the player for the Libertadores,” one fan reacted to the image posted by William Bento. The registration deadline for the tournament’s round of 16 ends this Friday (07).
Coluna do Fla has learned that William Bento did in fact meet with the Rubro-Negro board in Rio de Janeiro. In fact, the agent and José Boto, Mengo’s football director, were recently seen talking in Porto Alegre while Fla faced Internacional.
At the moment, talks for the winger to become a Rubro-Negro player are stalled. That is because the president of the Most Beloved did not allow the proposal to be sent to Zenit (RUS).
For Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, the offer of 30 million euros (R$ 177 million) fixed + 5 million euros (R$ 29.5 million) in bonuses is beyond what the club can spend. The idea was to pay the amount in up to three installments.
According to reporting by Coluna do Fla reporter Mônica Alves, Rubro-Negro is not concerned about the deadline to register players for the Libertadores. In other words, even if they cannot get Luiz Henrique in time for the clashes with Cruzeiro, Mengão will remain focused on signing the forward.
While the board continues its search for reinforcements, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment of 2026. This Sunday (09), the Most Beloved faces Vitória at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão.
Thus, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of Flamengo in the 2026 season. So, stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube (YouTube). In addition, SporTV (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match against Vitória.
The negotiation may be stalled, but nothing stops Boto and Bento from talking. In fact, in December last year, I remember Bap was willing to spend R$ 1 billion on reinforcements for 2026. I wonder what changed,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
