Midfielder Pedro Henrique could not hold back his tears during an emotional farewell to Paysandu at Curuzu Stadium, as he prepares to join Flamengo following the end of the Serie C season.
The farewell of midfielder Pedro Henrique was filled with emotion at Curuzu Stadium in Belém. The young athlete was seen crying on the pitch following a 1-0 victory over Ferroviária in the Brazilian Serie C promotion stage, a match that marked his final home appearance for the club before his transfer to Flamengo.
This moment symbolizes the end of a successful chapter for the player, who became a guaranteed starter and a key piece in the team’s achievements this season. The move to the Rubro-Negro marks the biggest deal in Paysandu‘s history, crowning the meteoric rise of the 20-year-old midfielder on the national stage.
Emotional Farewell at Curuzu
With a visibly choked-up voice, Pedro Henrique made sure to express his gratitude for the unconditional support of the local fans over the past few months. The athlete highlighted that the atmosphere he experienced at the club exceeded all his professional expectations since arriving in Belém.
This is the scenario I dreamed of. I want to thank all my teammates for everything they have done for me, and everyone who was part of this work. To these fans, who never stopped supporting us: I am very emotional, because not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine having a year like the one I’m having.
The player also took the opportunity to encourage his teammates and the fans in their dramatic fight for promotion to Serie B, emphasizing that the group remains fully focused and in contention until the final whistle of the last round.
Critical Situation in the Promotion Stage
Paysandu‘s position in the table requires a complex combination of results to secure a spot in the upper division. Currently at the bottom of the group with four points and a negative goal difference, the team must win away against Brusque and hope for favorable outcomes in other matches.
The decisive clash takes place next Saturday, officially marking the end of the athlete’s loan contract. From that point on, the midfielder will be fully available to Flamengo‘s coaching staff to begin his journey in Rio de Janeiro football.
Record-Breaking Transfer
The deal, signed in April 2026, made history for Paysandu by reaching R$ 3 million, becoming the largest sale ever made by the northern club. His contract with Mais Querido is for three seasons, valid until 2029.
Furthermore, the Paysandu board secured a 7% sell-on clause for any future transfer involving the player. Throughout the season, the midfielder accumulated 35 appearances, two goals, two assists, and three major titles: Copa Norte, Copa Verde, and the Campeonato Paraense.
The arrival of Pedro Henrique in Rio de Janeiro is eagerly awaited by Flamengo fans and management. The youngster arrives with experience in decisive matches and high-pressure situations—essential attributes noted by the M360 Team to bolster the club’s defensive system for the final stretch of the season.
