The market for Brazilian players is a privileged market for John Textor’s Eagle Football Holdings group, particularly with its affiliation with the Botafogo club. The president of OL also brought two players to Lyon, Lucas Perri and Adryelson. This time, it is a transfer in the opposite direction, from Europe to Brazil, which John Textor is preparing in the person of Luiz Henrique (23 years old) according to the Spanish media Relevo. The Real Betis player Balompié, at the club since 2022, is starting to become a starter again with Manuel Pellegrini, he notably started the last two matches with his team (against Barça and Granada), and is of great interest to Botafogo.
To enlist the Brazilian, John Textor must pay the price requested by the La Liga club, namely 20 million euros. What the American is willing to do. With this offer, he would be ahead of Leipzig, who were the club best placed to acquire Luiz Henrique. The situation was reversed since the Germans first wanted a loan before deciding on a sale close to 20 million euros.
