Luiz Henrique posts message after Flamengo step up pursuit | OneFootball

Flamengo have intensified their push to sign Luiz Henrique in this window, with the forward featuring for Zenit in the Russian Cup on Wednesday in a 1-0 win. After the match he posted on Instagram.

The player said in a post that it was another step in the right direction, that he was proud of the team, they would keep working and believing, and he gave glory to God. He also shared images from the game.

Luiz Henrique has become the club's main target after weeks of talks for Almada produced no concrete resolution.

For now, Flamengo plan to formalise a 30 million euro offer, about R$ 177 million, to Zenit for Luiz Henrique. The proposal would also include a further 5 million euros, around R$ 29.5 million, in bonuses.

This is not the first time Flamengo have pursued the winger. In 2024, when he was at Betis, they joined the race but Botafogo prevailed.

Earlier this year he was again linked with a move and, in an interview during the World Cup build-up, he did not shut the door on Flamengo, although he sidestepped the topic at the time.

As talks over targets continue, Flamengo prepare to face Vitória in the Brasileirão on Sunday 09 at the Maracanã, with kick-off at 19:30 Brasília time.
