Luiz Henrique, a 25-year-old Brazilian winger who has a contract with Zenit until June 2028, was asked in an interview with Canal Goat if he would play for Flamengo. The attacker laughed and responded that he could not talk about that at the moment, explaining that he wants to perform well for his club before deciding on his future with his family. Flamengo had previously been interested in signing Luiz Henrique while he was at Real Betis, before he joined Botafogo, but an agreement was not reached.
After the 2024 season with Botafogo, the player was sold to Zenit. The Russian club now considers the player valued but not considered non-transferable. Zenit's ideal sale price for him is 50 million euros, but the club would accept a deal for around 40 million euros plus bonuses. The player has 12 caps and 2 goals for Brazil, and in the current 2025/2026 season in the Premier Liga, he has 3 goals and 3 assists in 20 appearances. His current Transfermarkt market value is €24.00m. He has also been linked with Palmeiras.
