Henrique Adriano Buss (born 14 October 1986), known as Henrique (Brazilian Portuguese: [ẽˈʁiki]), is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays for Fluminense as a defender. He has played for the Brazil national team, making his debut in 2008 and playing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
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 and re-distributed by Desportivo to Palmeiras.
Dutch giants Ajax were said to have tabled a bid for Henrique in June 2008, 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. The transfer to Barça was officially completed a day later. 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. The loan was renewed for a second year on 26 July 2010.
