This is one of the first big files of the summer transfer window for Olympique de Marseille. Indeed, for several weeks, Luis Henrique has become a very hot file on the desk of Medhi Benatia and Pablo Longoria. Luis Henrique is always the subject of a more than concrete approach on the part of Inter Milan as we have been revealing to you for several weeks. The Lombard club erected the Brazilian environment as a priority for the summer window and even hoped to be able to recruit it in June, to be able to align it during the FIFA club World Cup. While waiting to be able to find common ground with the Marseille club, the current semi-finalist of the Champions League had quickly reached a verbal agreement with the former Botafogo player today aged 23 and under contract with OM until June 2028.
If the Inter was alone at the top of the race at the signing of Luis Henrique, many European stables had returned to the charge in recent months. We can notably mention Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, but also Bayern Munich. Besides, Medhi Benatia was completely aware of the multiple lusts around the Brazilian winger: “There is noise around him, he is coveted. I received her two weeks ago to tell her about the current period and the fact that it was not satisfactory. But Luis is a great boy, he is positive, laughs all the time. The problem, as I told him, is that if he wants to have a great career, at OM or elsewhere, he will have to do more ”said the former Moroccan international in an interview with Provence. For a month, Inter Milan has activated in negotiations to find an agreement with the Marseille management.
The two clubs agreed!
According to our indiscretions, Inter Milan has finally reached an agreement with OM for Luis Henrique. Authors of a very beautiful season, the Nerazzurri of Simone Inzaghi are already hitting a big blow on the summer transfer window. The 23 -year -old Brazilian winger experienced a significant transformation under the direction of Roberto de Zerbi at Olympique de Marseille. He scored 9 goals and issued 10 assists in 35 games in all competitions this season. Its ability to evolve on the two wings and its versatility make it a precious asset for Inter, which could integrate it into its tactical diagram in 3-5-2. He could notably compete with Denzel Dumfries on the right or offer an alternative to Federico Dimarco and Carlos Augusto on the left. OM recently extended the Luis Henrique contract until 2028, while maintaining a moderate salary for the player. This places the Marseille club in a position of strength to negotiate a transfer.
For Inter, this acquisition represents a judicious investment, offering good value for money for a player in full ascent. It should not be forgotten that the relations between OM and Inter are good, as evidenced by recent transactions concerning Joaquin Correa and Valentin Carboni. This facilitated negotiations for Luis Henrique and opened the way for advantageous exchanges in discussions between the two clubs. Despite a drop in diet since March, Luis Henrique has demonstrated constant progression and an ability to adapt to demanding environments. Its integration into Inter could allow it to cross a new level, by evolving in a competitive championship and under the leadership of Simone Inzaghi. This return of money will allow the Marseille club to invest in other priority profiles, especially in the central defense site, which is crucial in a period of renewal with the Champions League.
