Luiz Henrique sous le maillot de Botafogo (@Botafogo)
Targeted by OL for several months now, Luiz Henrique is reportedly close to joining the Lyon club during the winter transfer window. However, this transfer is not necessarily well seen in Brazil.
Despite the problems with the DNCG, theOL don't lose hope during this winter transfer window. Indeed, the Lyonnais still hope to sign a few players in order to be able to strengthen their squad for the second part of the season. Items like Thiago Almada or even Luiz Henrique could land between Rhône and Saône. After the double with Botafogothe Brazilian would not see himself remaining within the Brazilian club and would have clearly indicated his intention to join theOlympique Lyonnais.
A former Brazilian player is against this transfer
However, a former Brazilian player São Paulo is not of the same opinion as Luiz Henrique. Indeed, interviewed in the show Exchange of Passes on SporTV, Richarlyson believes that the Brazilian winger would make a bad choice by signing for OL: “Sportingly, if Luiz Henrique goes to Lyon, I see him taking 10 steps back. Lyon is not a big club in Ligue 1 today, it is not a team that will give him the opportunity to improve in order to be able to play for the Brazilian national team In my opinion, he would be a starter for the Seleção, he is playing to be a starter for the Seleção.”. Le feuilleton Luiz Henrique is in any case far from finished. Between an arrival at OL or the possibility of collecting a big check, John Textor has not yet decided.
