In early August 2026 Flamengo was reported to be active on several fronts in the Brazilian transfer market. The club was negotiating the possible acquisition of Argentine midfielder Thiago Almada, though director José Boto later downplayed the pursuit, stating the club would not raise its bid or enter a bidding war. At the same time Flamengo was arranging the sale of young forward Lorran to Spanish side Granada, discussing whether the move would be a loan with an option or a permanent transfer. Concurrently, Flamengo was close to signing Russian club Zenit’s striker Luiz Henrique. The club submitted a €30 million offer plus €5 million in performance bonuses, aiming to acquire 85 % of the player’s economic rights for a total potential outlay of €35 million. This deal would make Henrique the highest‑paid player in Flamengo’s history and rank among the largest transfers in Brazilian football. ~~The second snapshot, later~~ By 4 August, negotiations for Henrique had moved to an advanced stage, with the same ~~day, confirmed the~~ €30 million ~~proposal~~ fee and ~~noted Zenit’s willingness to negotiate only~~ €5 million bonuses still on ~~that base figure, while Flamengo’s football director José~~ the table.
