Announced as a potential recruit this winter at OL, Luiz Henrique would move away from France. John Textor has reportedly reached an agreement with Zenit Saint Petersburg for the Brazilian winger.
On Saturday, supporters ofOL were able to get to know Thiago Almada. Three days after being made official as the Lyon club's first winter recruit, the Argentinian met his first group even if he was unable to make his debut. He should be able to do it against the FC Nantesnext Sunday at Beaujoire, five days before the end of the transfer window. Will he be the only winter arrival in the Lyon ranks? Banned from recruiting, the Rhone club nevertheless managed to circumvent the ban with a free loan from Botafogoanother Eagle Football club. Could this process still be used to attract Luiz Henrique ? As Thiago Almadathe Brazilian has seen his name linked for several weeks, even months, between Rhône and Saône.
35 million euros in the coffers?
A clause would be part of his contract since his arrival at Botafogo last summer and without the restrictions of the DNCG, the winger would certainly already have the jersey of theOL on the shoulders. However, the case would have taken another turn in recent hours, if we are to believe the Brazilian media UOL. In search of liquidity to replenish the coffers of the Brazilian club and at the same time Eagle Football, John Textor would have reached an agreement with the Zenit Saint Petersburg. The Russian club would have to pay 35 million euros to attract Luiz Henrique, who would also have an agreement with Zenit. All this noise for nothing?
