The last time we gave you an update on Luis Henrique’s situation at Inter, the former resident of Olympique de Marseille was at his worst. Recruited for €23 million, the Brazilian winger had only participated in six matches. Since then, the situation has not really improved. He did not play the Champions League match against Almaty and only played in two Serie A matches against Fiorentina and Hellas Verona.
There Gazzetta dello Sport underlines that the former Marseillais experienced new disillusionment last weekend, during the clash between Inter and Lazio (2-0). “Luis Henrique is no longer just a mystery at 23 million euros, he is also and above all the big loser on the left flank of Inter. Because the signal sent by Chivu last Sunday at San Siro is clear: when the Nerazzurro coach, after an hour of play against Lazio, decided to recall Dumfries to the bench, it was not the Brazilian who arrived at Appiano from Marseille who replaced the Dutchman, as logic would have it, but the other Brazilian, Carlos Augusto, who until now has played both the role of replacing Dimarco and that of replacing Bastoni on the left and who is now preparing to move, if necessary, to the opposite side. Because one thing is certain: even if Dumfries needs to breathe like all the other Inter starters, Luis Henrique is not the man for the job to replace him.
