Olympique de Marseille secures Brazilian talent Luis Henrique
Olympique de Marseille has announced the arrival of Brazilian forward Luis Henrique, for which they will pay 12 million euros. The player signs a contract for five seasons, until June 30, 2025.
The French team has had the young 18-year-old talent on their radar for some time, as he has played for Botafogo on loan for the past two seasons from Três Passos Atlético Clube, although he was in the reserve team of the historic Brasileirão club until January of this year.
In this way, 60% of the transfer fee will go to its original club and the remaining 40% to Botafogo, which had part of the rights of Luis Henrique. The left winger, who can also play on the right side and up front, is a clear future bet for Olympique de Marseille.
"Luis Henrique is a player with great talent and a brilliant future. He has great physical abilities, great dribbling, and excellent shooting," said Marseille's general director, Pablo Longoria.
New player and new rhythm in Olympique!
Bem-vindo
