The Brazilian winger has not taken long to demonstrate his qualities in the Santander League, attracting the interest of big European teams who are willing to try his signing in the winter market
Luis Henrique came to Real Betis last summer as a young promise yet to be polished. A player who had great offensive qualities but who It would take time to acclimatize to the style of play of the Santander League and to what Manuel Pellegrini was going to ask of him. But the truth is that we have been pleasantly surprised by the footballer, who has barely taken a few weeks to show his full potential.
This great news for the Verdiblanco team also has its consequences. Many teams have been interested in the footballer 21 years old, who is currently one of the wingers with the greatest potential in world football. And some of these teams are willing to make a important economic offer to remove Luiz Henrique from Real Betis.
Luiz Henrique, the solution for Real Betis?
The interest of these great teams is coupled with the poor economic situation of the Verdiblanco team. Already last summer they had many difficulties registering new signings, which is why the possibility of selling important players such as Guido Rodríguez, Fekir or William Carvalho was considered. And now there is another option.
This option is to sell Luiz Henrique, who despite having arrived at Benito Villamarín just a few months ago could be on the exit ramp. His market value does not stop increasing and he has a signed contract until 2028. But not only that, but Real Betis accepts its termination clause, which scares many of the interested clubs.
The prohibitive price of Luiz Henrique that scares Naples
In recent days we have learned that the team most interested in signing the Brazilian footballer is Napoli, the current leader of Serie A. The Italian team has been amazed by Luiz Henrique’s game and they are willing to make a great financial effort to seize their services. But they have been met with a negative response.
Real Betis is not willing to sell one of its most promising footballers yet and they have transferred to Napoli and the rest of the interested teams that, if they want to sign Luiz Henrique, they will have to pay his release clause. A clause that is prohibitive, since it is 100 million euros. That is why, except for surprise, next season we will continue to see the winger at Benito Villamarín.
