New updates arrive on the Luiz Henrique front (24 years old), Fiorentina’s great goal and dream on the January market currently underway. It is not a simple negotiation with Botafogo, a club that is part of the Textor galaxy (like Lyon and Crystal Palace, both linked to the boy) and also the latest information gathered by us at Tuttomercatoweb.com they go in this direction.
As learned, in fact, not even the raise of around 20 million euros between fixed portion and bonus presented by Fiorentina was enough to convince Botafogo to let their player go. And, despite the fact that in recent hours Brazil has been talking about four offers already accepted by the South Americans for Henrique, to date Botafogo has not budged from the 30 million requested.
