São Paulo confirm Henrique sold to CSKA Moscow, Russia | OneFootball

São Paulo officially announced this Friday the sale of striker Henrique to CSKA Moscow. The deal was already considered a done deal, however, it was only finalized days after the player traveled to Russia.

Revealed in the club's youth categories, Henrique was part of the professional squad and was gaining space with coach Hernán Crespo. However, São Paulo's need to raise funds ended up forcing his departure from the club.

Henrique was promoted to the professional squad at just 17 years old after standing out in the youth categories. He was considered one of São Paulo's next big talents, but he did not manage to have a significant trajectory at the Morumbi club before transferring to European football.

This is the third youth player sold by São Paulo this year. Going through serious financial difficulties, the Tricolor also negotiated Lucas Ferreira with Shakhtar Donetsk and Matheus Alves, also with CSKA Moscow.

In the current season, Henrique played six games for São Paulo and recorded one assist.
