According to Foot Mercato, Botafogo are preparing an offer for Marseille forward Luis Henrique (22). The first submitted by the Brazilian is set to be worth a total of €6m plus bonuses. The Brazilian forward has been on loan at Botafogo from Marseille for the last 18 months.
Luis Henrique arrived in Marseille from Três Passos in 2020 after spending the season on loan at Botafogo. Les Olympiens paid €8m for the 22-year-old. The Brazilian winger struggled to stamp his mark at the Stade Vélodrome and has been deemed surplus to requirements by OM. Botafogo are set to submit an offer to try and secure his services permanently next week.
Red Bull interest
The club owned by OL owner John Textor will not have a clear run at securing his services. According to Foot Mercato, Red Bull Bragantino are also interested in bringing Luis Henrique back to Brazil. However, the Red Bull club are only interested in a loan move for the Brazilian which could make Botafogo the favourites for his signature.
