Botafogo has set an asking price of 60 million euros for Luiz Henrique, the Brazilian star who recently won the Copa Libertadores and Brasileirao, in addition to being chosen as the best player in both competitions.
His outstanding performance in 2024 has made him one of the most sought-after footballers, with England being his most likely destination. Despite efforts by John Textor, the club owner, to retain him, the winger has decided to continue his career in Europe.
Luiz Henrique, one step closer to returning to Europe
Luiz Henrique's journey at Botafogo has been meteoric. He arrived in January 2024 and quickly established himself as a key figure in the team led by Artur Jorge, sharing the spotlight with players like Thiago Almada and Jefferson Savarino. His ability to make a difference in crucial matches granted him a prominent place in South American football and sparked the interest of major European clubs.
One of the main suitors for his signing is Crystal Palace, a club linked to Textor himself, who is also a shareholder in the English club. This connection could facilitate negotiations, although the high price and the demand for the player could attract other teams from the Premier League.
With this transfer, Luiz Henrique not only aims to double his salary but also to establish himself in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Meanwhile, Botafogo hopes to use the proceeds from his sale to strengthen its squad and maintain competitiveness in Brazil and the continent. The departure of this talented winger will mark the end of a brilliant era at Glorioso while a new chapter in his European career begins.
