Flamengo Idol Bruno Henrique May Retire at the End of Next Season

This week was more than special for Flamengo who, in addition to becoming four-time champions of the Libertadores, also won their ninth Brasileirão title. However, a revelation caught Flamengo fans by surprise: the possibility that Bruno Henrique may retire at the end of next season.

In an interview right after the 1-0 victory over Ceará on Wednesday (03), Bruno Henrique revealed his plan to retire at Flamengo. However, the Flamengo idol projected a date for this to happen.

“My desire is to finish here at Flamengo. And I think that moment is coming to an end, I should play this last year with Flamengo and, who knows, hang up my boots,” said Bruno Henrique, emotionally.

It’s worth noting that Bruno Henrique has his birthday on December 30, when he will turn 35. Therefore, at the end of the 2026 season, if he retires, the number 27 will be about to turn 36.

How much time does Bruno Henrique have left on his contract with Fla?

In summary, Bruno Henrique has a contract with Flamengo until December 31, 2026. However, if Filipe Luís remains in charge of the team, the club may make a renewal offer to the number 27.

Despite this, Bruno Henrique acknowledged that the peak of his career was in 2019. After that, the forward stated that he helped Flamengo in specific moments and evaluated the 2022 season, in which he suffered a serious injury, as well as 2025.

How many titles does the player have with Fla?

Finally, Bruno Henrique – alongside Arrascaeta – is the most decorated player in the history of Flamengo, with 17 titles each. So far, the duo has won the following titles with the Sacred Mantle: three Libertadores (2019, 2022, and 2025), three Brasileirãos (2019, 2020, and 2025), two Copas do Brasil (2022 and 2024), three Supercopas do Brasil (2020, 2021, and 2025), the Recopa Sudamericana (2020), and five Carioca Championships (2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2025).

What are Bruno Henrique’s stats with Fla?

Since joining Flamengo in 2019, Bruno Henrique has racked up incredible numbers with the Sacred Mantle. So far, the idol has played 338 matches for Fla. In addition, the number 27 has scored 110 goals, provided 54 assists, and has been directly involved in 164 Flamengo goals.

What’s the next step?

While the under-20s face Mirassol on Saturday (06), for the 37th round of the Brasileirão, Bruno Henrique and Flamengo’s main squad will take the field next Wednesday (10). Thus, in Qatar, the Most Beloved will face Cruz Azul (MEX) at 2 p.m. (Brasília time), for the Intercontinental.
