Here comes the offer for Luis Henrique for the World Cup! Scenarios and competition

After an initial inquiry made last month by Inter Milan with the player's agent, the Nerazzurri club has intensified its pursuit. 

Followed by numerous clubs after the best season of his career, Luis Henrique continues to attract the interest of many teams. 

This is reported today by Footmercato, following the news released by Sky Sport via Fcinter1908.it. 

The battle has just begun and will see Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Newcastle, and even Nottingham Forest competing for the Brazilian winger. 

"This can be described as an incredible transformation. Arriving in 2020 with the label of a great Brazilian promise, Luis Henrique sometimes disappointed at OM. 

However, the €8 million (£6.6 million) invested by the Marseille club a few years ago now seems completely justified in light of the outstanding 2024-2025 season the right-winger is having. 

Taking advantage of a loan to Botafogo last year to rediscover himself and return to doing what he does best, the 23-year-old Brazilian has returned to the Canebière with a completely new look. 

This was enough for him to become a key player in Roberto De Zerbi's system this season. Inter Milan wants him for the Club World Cup."

Inter Milan will make an initial offer, with Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Newcastle, and Nottingham Forest keeping an eye on the situation, writes the French portal. 

"Right now, the interest is more intense in Italy. After an initial inquiry last month by Inter Milan with the player’s agent, the Lombard club has intensified its pursuit and seems determined to secure the player. 

After starting talks with OM, the current Italian champions are ready to make their first transfer offer to the Marseille club in the coming weeks. 

The Nerazzurri's intention is clear: Luis Henrique is a priority for next summer’s market, and the goal is even to have the player available for the next Club World Cup in June, according to our information. Now, the key is to reach an agreement with Marseille, which could ask for over €30 million to release the player. 

The good relations between the Italian club and the current third-place team in Ligue 1 could also favor the operation."

Strong European competition

"But Inter Milan is not the only club in the race. Bayern Munich is very interested in the Brazilian. 

Vincent Kompany particularly appreciates the profile of the versatile OM winger and recently went to watch him at the Parc des Princes during PSG-OM (3-1 defeat) last March. 

At the moment, this option is still under consideration, but it could gain momentum by the end of the month: the Bavarian management, which also has excellent relations with Marseille’s management, plans to make another move by the end of April. 

In addition to Bayern, Bayer Leverkusen is also strongly interested in Luis Henrique. The club coached by Xabi Alonso has already spoken with the player’s entourage to discuss a possible offer for the OM number 44. 

Finally, Nottingham Forest also appreciates the qualities of the former Botafogo player, but so far, they have not made any approach with the player’s entourage, just like Newcastle, which would gladly envision him in its squad next year."
