Negotiations regarding the transfer of forward Luiz Henrique from the Russian club Zenit have encountered multiple obstacles. A potential transfer to AS Roma, reportedly valued at up to 43 million euros, collapsed due to banking complications involving Russia, according to Roma’s sporting director, Tony D’Amico. The specific offer from Roma reportedly included 38 million euros in fixed fees and 5 million euros in bonuses, but the proposal was rejected by Zenit.

Attempts to move the player to Brazil also faced difficulties. While Botafogo and Flamengo expressed interest in bringing the player back to Brazil, negotiations were hindered by financial hurdles and complex player exchange proposals. A move to Botafogo remains complicated by a multi-party situation involving Zenit and player Artur, alongside ongoing financial and judicial recovery issues.

As the transfer window concludes, Luiz Henrique is set to remain at Zenit. Amidst these failed bids, Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad has reportedly initiated contact to evaluate signing the attacker as an alternative to their primary target. Luiz Henrique continues to focus on his performance in Russia to increase his visibility for the Brazilian national team.
