Marseille have received an offer for a striker!
OM Mercato: Olympique de Marseille is in the process of parting with a striker. Botafogo sent a new offer for Luis Henrique.
OM Mercato: Botafogo returns to the charge for Luis Henrique
The next few weeks promise to be very eventful for Olympique de Marseille. If the management of the club wishes to attract high standing players, the Marseille leaders are also determined to reduce their workforce during this summer transfer window. Steve Mandanda and Nemanja Radonjic recently left the Marseille ship to commit to Stade Rennais and Torino respectively. Other OM players are also getting closer to the exit door. This is particularly the case of Luis Henrique (20 years).
Arrived in September 2018 from Brazil against a check of 8 million euros, the Brazilian striker never managed to live up to the expectations placed on him. The management of OM would like to get rid of him this summer. And it is not the suitors who are lacking to welcome him.
If his name is regularly associated with FC Nantes, Luis Henrique could possibly return to Brazil where it retains a good coast. Besides Flamengo, Botafogo FC wants to repatriate its former striker. Moreover, after a first failed attempt, the club based in Rio de Janeiro would have decided to return to the charge for Luis Henrique with new financial arguments.
OM Mercato: Botafogo’s offer for Luis Henrique
The Brazilian media UOL explains that Botafogo FC would be willing to pay around 500,000 euros for a loan from Luis Henrique with a fixed purchase option of 6.5 million euros. It remains to be seen whether this new offer will be sufficient to complete his signature. For the time being, Olympique de Marseille would have another plan for the future of their young right winger. The Marseille club would like to send him on loan to a European club. FC Nantes, which is very interested in the young player, would therefore have a serious advantage in this case. Negotiations between the different parties were to continue in the days to come.
