Crystal Palace and Fulham are set to explore the idea of signing Botafogo winger Luiz Henrique, although a January move looks unlikely.
According to Caught Offside, Fulham and Crystal Palace are vying for Luiz Henrique ahead of the winter window. The Botafogo winger has been rising in stature over the last many months, as the Premier League sides are eager to test the waters with an offer. However, a move in January might seem unlikely despite an affordable €30 million price tag.
Luiz Henrique has been making a name for himself, and things are finally working out for the winger. He has recently become a regular with the Brazilian national team squad and is coming off a productive season at club level.
There is Premier League interest in the Brazilian winger, as Crystal Palace and Fulham are vying for his signature ahead of the January window. Henrique has had a previous stint in Europe, playing 64 times for Real Betis, which lasted 18 months between July 2022 and February 2024.
Botafogo paid €16 million to sign him from Real Betis, and now they are potentially looking to nearly double that fee as interest from Crystal Palace and Fulham emerges. Starting with the Eagles they have been looking at a new winger in the market, including Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk, as they have been missing a presence on the wings since the departure of Michael Olise.
Fulham were beaten by Botafogo back in January, as Marco Silva wanted Henrique from Betis, but he returned to South America. In any case, the Cottagers are looking to add to their firepower in wide areas, and the Brazilian might suit their quest this season.
Botafogo unlikely to sell Henrique in January
Despite the interest from Premier League sides in the €30 million-rated Brazilian winger, Botafogo are unlikely to entertain offers in January, as they feel they could maximise his transfer value next summer. The current price point represents a massive profit on the initial investment in the player.
A concrete bid from either Fulham or Palace might help to change their current stance, as Botafogo are unlikely to accept anything less than the €30 million reported price. Should an offer in a similar vein arrive in January, things could change from Botafogo’s standpoint, although much will depend on the player’s stance as well, as he’s currently growing in his role.
