Unconvincing on loan to Botafogo, Luis Henrique should return to Olympique de Marseille this winter.

Some Marseille supporters have probably almost forgotten it, others remember it not necessarily for the right reasons, but Luis Henrique is not very far. From a geographical point of view, the Brazilian is almost 9,000 kilometers from the Robert Louis-Dreyfus Center, but he could soon travel this distance to return there.

Henrique not successful

After two seasons without much success in the Marseille city, Henrique left on loan to the Botafogo, his training club. But after 57 matches (6 goals, 3 assists), the 21-year-old could make his return to Marseille this winter. According to information from Provencethe Brazilian club does not intend to match the eight million euros of Henrique’s purchase option, while OM does not wish to negotiate downwards.

This disagreement would inevitably lead to the winger’s return to OM in January. It remains to be seen whether the Olympian management will wish to keep their player and retry the bet or find another way out for him.
