A target of OL for several months and his signing at Botafogo, Luiz Henrique could arrive between Rhône and Saône this winter. John Textor has nevertheless calmed some enthusiasm, especially with the ban on recruiting.
In Lyon, we knew that the priority objective was to reduce fat. This was Pierre's wish Sage for months and the DNCG sanctions have only reinforced this need to sell. In two days of transfer window, the files are currently on track with the departures of Anthony Lopes (free), Jeffinho (€5.3M) and the upcoming one from Gift Orban (€12M). OL management hopes to continue this throughout the month of January and is working to find solutions to strengthen itself.
Despite the DNCG's ban on recruiting, the club hopes to succeed even if all files remain subject to the goodwill of the financial policeman. This will be the case for Thiago Almada et Luiz Henriquewhich have been announced very close to OL for several days, even weeks or months. Despite their membership in Eagle Football Group, the two players will still have to wait to see if the DNCG is conciliatory or not following the various departures, we were told.
A decision “during the first week of January”
Regardless, the arrival of Luiz Henrique at OL is still far from being as established as the Brazilian press has suggested in recent hours. Asked about the future of the best player in the championship, John Weaver played the clock concerning Henrique. “The plan was always to bring him to Europe. But it has to be at the right time, and there is the possibility of him playing the Club World Cup for us (Botafogo), declared the American boss in comments reported by Globo. I am in close contact with his representatives and we will decide everything during the first week of January.”
