Luiz Henrique's agent shares message after Flamengo talks end | OneFootball

Talks to sign Luiz Henrique have ended, and agent William Bento marked the close by posting an Instagram story. It featured a clip of the forward referencing Zenit's next fixture in the 2026/27 season, with the caption “Deus no controle”.

The player's representatives said in a statement that discussions with Flamengo were officially closed. They cited a series of complications that hindered progress, so no agreement was reached at this time.

Talks began when José Boto met Bento in Porto Alegre during Flamengo's trip to face Internacional in the Brasileirão. The agent then visited Ninho do Urubu on Friday 7 for another round of discussions with the club's executive football director.

After failing in a move for Thiago Almada, Flamengo turned to Luiz Henrique. The player's camp initially gave approval to open dialogue with Zenit, but the club did not advance to talks with the Russians. Faced with high figures, Flamengo made no formal offer.

With no deals for Luiz Henrique or Almada, Flamengo start the Libertadores knockout phase without reinforcements, though they continue to scan the market. They host Vitória on Sunday 9 in the Brasileirão, kick-off 19:30 Brasília, at the Maracanã.
