Luiz Henrique, one of Brazil’s coveted players valued at EUR30m by Botafogo is being pursued by several English football clubs including Crystal Palace. Botafogo have expressed interest and could potentially move the Botafogo player up into the Premier League to further his career prospects.
Interest from Premier League Clubs
Crystal Palace and Fulham both appear keen on signing 23-year-old right winger Henrique for their squads this season; representatives from these clubs were even seen attending Botafogo matches recently to scout him and maybe make an offer.
It’s been noted that the performances of Luiz Henrique have impressed the scouts, suggesting that a bidding war could be imminent.
The talented winger is currently regarded as a valuable asset by his club, Botafogo, who are not in a rush to sell him. They aim to maximize his market value, indicating that any potential deal would require substantial negotiation.
Potential Impact on Crystal Palace
Oliver Glasner currently occupies Palace’s managerial role and could play an influential part in any transfer negotiations for Henrique. Additionally, John Textor holds significant shares of both clubs which could influence negotiations for Henrique.
Crystal Palace hopes securing Luiz Henrique and other potential signings could set the scene for an impressive 2024/25 campaign for South Londoners. Their ambition of strengthening their squad makes the next transfer window all the more anticipated by fans and supporters of Crystal Palace.
