His main asset is his versatility, as he can play as a central defender, right back or defensive midfielder.
Henrique started his career at Coritiba in his home region. In 2008, he was bought by Palmeiras in a deal partially financed by Traffic Group. Part of the later transfer fee of Henrique from Barcelona was credited to Desportivo Brasil, the subsidiary of Traffic[3] and re-distributed by Desportivo to Palmeiras.[4]
Dutch club Ajax were said to have tabled a bid for Henrique in June 2008,[5] which was soon followed by a report saying he had agreed terms with Barcelona. In the end, Barcelona had secured Henrique's services from Palmeiras for €8 million, with an extra €2 million in bonuses. He signed a five-year deal and was to be immediately loaned out to German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.[6] The transfer to Barça was officially completed a day later.[7] Henrique made 27 league appearances in his season with Leverkusen and reached the final of the 2008–09 DFB-Pokal. He returned to Barcelona in June 2009, being given the number 23 shirt upon his return. On 31 August 2009, he was again loaned out, this time to Racing de Santander.[8] The loan was renewed for a second year on 26 July 2010.[9]
Barcelona wrote-down €1.757 million[10] for the residual contract value of Henrique for the 2010–11 season.[11]
On 15 July 2011, Henrique returned to Brazil on another loan deal from Barcelona.[12] During the 2012 Copa do Brasil campaign, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari started playing Henrique as a holding midfielder and the player thrived in the new role, with Palmeiras eventually winning the competition.
On 2 June 2012, Barcelona cancelled Henrique's contract, prompting his release from the club.[13] He then joined Palmeiras on a free transfer after a successful loan spell in 2011–12.[14] Palmeiras, however, remained the holder of 80% of Henrique's economic rights, with 20% of any future transfer fee to be paid to unknown parties.[15] Henrique also became second captain of the squad, behind dead-ball specialist Marcos Assunção in the pecking order.
On 30 January 2014, Henrique officially signed with Italian Serie A club Napoli. The deal was completed for €4 million with the player agreeing to a three-and-a-half-year contract.[16] He played all 90 minutes of their 3–1 victory over Fiorentina in the 2014 Coppa Italia Final on 3 May.[17]
On 11 January 2016, Henrique joined Fluminense on a three-year contract.[18]
On 21 March 2008, Henrique received his first call up to the Brazil national team after centre back Juan was cut from the squad due to an injury to his ankle.[19]
On 16 April 2013, Henrique was called up by Luiz Felipe Scolari, his former coach at Palmeiras, for a friendly against Chile on 24 April at the Mineirão.[20] But on 19 April, as Palmeiras would play against Tijuana the next day, Henrique was cut from the list, and Rodrigo Moledo of Internacional was called up in his place.[21] On the same day, Conmebol had moved the Palmeiras game and Henrique was recalled, but Moledo was nonetheless kept on the list.[22]
On 7 May 2014, Henrique was selected as part of the Brazil squad for the upcoming World Cup, to be played on home soil.[23]
His sole appearance at the tournament was the final two minutes of the quarter-final victory over Colombia, replacing the injured forward Neymar,[24] as Brazil eventually finished fourth.
