While his name was registered on the tablets of Olympique Lyonnais, Luiz Henrique will fly to Russia. According to Fabrizio Romano, an agreement was reached between Botafogo and Zenit for 35 million euros. A record sale for the Brazilian club.
Luiz Henrique should not be Lyon's next recruit. Announced on OL's shelves for several weeks, the Brazilian will not join – barring an unlikely turnaround – his former teammate Thiago Almada. Fabrizio Romano announces this Saturday evening that the Botafogo winger will join Zenit Saint-Petersburg, information that RMC Sport is able to confirm.
A record sale for Botafogo
A record sale to come for the Brazilian club since the operation is estimated at 35 million euros. This important sale is good news, automatically, for John Textor and therefore Olympique Lyonnais since Botafogo belongs to the Eagle Football Group.
Winner of the Copa Libertadores with Botafogo, Luiz Henrique knew that his hours were numbered in Brazil. The former Real Betis player joined the Auriverde club in January 2024. Tracked by Lyon but also by Fiorentina, who would have proposed a better salary offer than Lyon, it is ultimately in Russia that Luiz Henrique should therefore continue his career.
-The Brazilian winger, who can play across the entire attacking front, is coming off a convincing season with Botafogo. He scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 55 matches.
