Flamengo may make an official transfer offer for the player following the 2026 World Cup. Zenit's expected asking price is €40-50 million. However, Zenit is considering asking for €70 million, contingent on Enrique's performance at the World Cup. Should this occur, negotiations with the Brazilian club will become impossible.

According to Globo.com, Luiz Henrique, formerly of Botafogo and currently at Zenit, is a player Flamengo is interested in, but the price demanded by the Russian club is deterring Flamengo from negotiations. The board will make investing in a center forward a priority and will probably need to adjust the budget to pursue more affordable wingers.

When asked in an interview with Canal Goat if he would play for Flamengo, Zenit winger Luiz Henrique responded that he could not talk about that at the moment. Flamengo had previously been interested in signing the player while he was at Real Betis, but an agreement was not reached before he joined Botafogo and was later sold to Zenit. The Russian club considers the player valued but not non-transferable and has an ideal sale price of 50 million euros, but would accept a deal for around 40 million euros plus bonuses.
