Luiz Henrique transfer to AS Roma fails due to banking issues

Luiz Henrique's potential transfer from Zenit to AS Roma failed due to banking complications involving Russia, according to Roma's sporting director, Tony D’Amico. Reports indicate Roma offered a package worth up to 43 million euros, including bonuses, but the deal was rejected by Zenit.

The 25-year-old attacker is reportedly eager to leave the Russian league to increase his visibility for the Brazilian national team. While a move to Italy did not materialize, Luiz Henrique has expressed interest in returning to Brazil, specifically with Botafogo.

However, a transfer to Botafogo faces significant obstacles. Sources suggest the move is complicated by a multi-party situation involving Zenit and player Artur, alongside financial and judicial recovery issues that must be resolved before a deal can be finalized.
