Flamengo 'to bid' €30m for Luiz Henrique as Thiago Almada undecided | OneFootball

Flamengo have stepped up a move for Luiz Henrique as they seek 2026 reinforcements, while talks over Thiago Almada remain stalled with the midfielder yet to decide his future.

According to GE, the club are preparing a €30 million offer for the Zenit forward, with a further €5 million in performance-related bonuses. Flamengo have intensified negotiations for Luiz Henrique, and their proposal to Atlético Madrid playmaker Thiago Almada remains on the table.

If completed at those figures, Luiz Henrique would become Flamengo's second most expensive signing, behind Lucas Paquetá. He is also expected to receive the highest salary in the squad.

The club's main focus is still to bring in Almada, but with the Argentine yet to choose between Flamengo and River Plate, talks for Luiz Henrique have been advanced in parallel.

Lucas Paquetá said he had joked with Luiz Henrique during Brazil duty at the 2026 World Cup under Carlo Ancelotti. He added that both targets are high-quality players who would be welcome, while stressing that any decision lies with the board.
