HOW ARE FLAMENGO’S TALKS FOR LUIZ HENRIQUE GOING?

Luiz Henrique became Flamengo’s main target after the Almada deal, which has been dragging on for weeks, failed to reach a concrete outcome. As a result, the Rubro-Negro has shifted its focus to signing Luiz Henrique.

At the moment, Flamengo plans to formalize an offer worth around 30 million euros (about R$ 177 million at the current exchange rate) to Zenit for Luiz Henrique. In addition, in the proposal, Mengo would also be willing to pay another 5 million euros (R$ 29.5 million) in bonuses provided for in the player’s contract.

HAS FLAMENGO TRIED TO SIGN LUIZ HENRIQUE IN OTHER WINDOWS BEFORE?

It is important to point out that this is not the first time Flamengo has targeted Luiz Henrique in transfer windows. When the forward was still a Betis (ESP) player in 2024, the Rubro-Negro entered the race to sign him, but Botafogo came out on top.

At the start of this year, Luiz Henrique’s name was once again linked with a possible move to Flamengo. In an interview during the preparation cycle for the World Cup, the player did not close the door on Mengão; however, he preferred to avoid the subject at the time.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Luiz Henrique remains on the radar, Flamengo’s squad is preparing for the next match of the season. This Sunday (09), Mengão faces Vitória in a Brasileirão clash.

The ball rolls at 7:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will bring all the details of the match with the most rubro-negra on-site coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
