Expected to join the ranks of OL during the winter, Luiz Henrique had a glimpse of his possible future environment. The Brazilian witnessed the victory against Frankfurt ten days ago.
This Saturday (6 p.m.), OL are playing their 32nd Coupe de France final, but the match against Feignies Aulnoye is already almost secondary. Qualification is certainly sought after, but it will only be a job well done if the Lyonnais see the round of 16. Despite the cup and subsequent holidays, the winter transfer window is already making headlines around OL. There is talk of departures like that of Gift Orban or those hoped for by Maxence Caqueret and other big salaries. But also arrivals, as surprising as it may seem. For what ? Because the DNCG prohibited recruiting the Lyon club and therefore it could not strengthen from January 1, 2025. Only, John Weaver tries to find a combination to bring back Thiago Almada. As well as Luiz Henrique ?
How can we bring it back this winter?
Like his Argentinian friend, the Brazilian winger should not be far behind at Botafogo, six months after his arrival. The prospect of returning to Europe on the OL side had been put forward by Textor to convince Henrique. It remains to find a way to bring him in this winter. In any case, Luiz Henrique could already have immersed himself in what could be his future environment according to The Team. After the elimination of Botafogo in the Intercontinental Cup, the former Betis would have made a detour via Décines to attend OL – Frankfurt in the Europa League. The atmosphere could have been worse to finally convince the player.
