There is a possibility that Luiz Henrique's transfer to Lyon could be facilitated due to shared ownership, with further negotiations for interested parties to follow.

Jhon Textor, also being the owner of Lyon, which is facing economic difficulties, wants to transfer Luiz Henrique to France. However, Luiz Henrique prefers a move to Spain or Italy.

Luiz Henrique is contemplating a move away from Botafogo, where he celebrated a Série A-Copa Libertadores triumph, to join Olympique Lyonnais, another leading club in the Eagle galaxy. Nevertheless, Lyon's financial struggles have stalled the transfer. In Brazil, there is optimism that the transfer will not proceed. Former São Paulo player Richarlyson expressed on SporTV's Troca de Passes that a move to Lyon would represent a regression for Luiz Henrique, pointing out that Lyon is not currently among the top clubs in Ligue 1 and may not contribute to his development for the Brazilian national team.

Olympique Lyonnais is considering a similar strategy for Luiz Henrique as they are for Thiago Almada, which involves a potential free loan. However, the transfer is complicated due to issues with non-EU player slots.

Olympique Lyonnais is interested in Luiz Henrique from Botafogo. The transfer is more complex, with options including a free loan. Henrique has also bid farewell to his teammates in Brazil and is preparing to move to Europe and Ligue 1. Discussions are ongoing, and further developments are expected.

Lyon, where John Textor is a major shareholder, initially had the priority to receive Luiz Henrique in Europe. However, with interest from other teams, his destination might change.

Luiz Henrique has attracted interest from several European clubs because of his potential and past performance at Botafogo. According to recent reports from Brazilian media, Fiorentina expressed interest in the player, making an offer of approximately 30 million euros. However, John Textor, the owner, reportedly showed no interest in negotiating and preferred to have Luiz Henrique move to Lyon, a preference that the player also shared. It is anticipated that Luiz Henrique will join Lyon this winter, a move facilitated by the fact that both clubs are part of the Eagle Football group, which is owned by John Textor.

John Textor, owner of Botafogo's SAF, discussed Luiz Henrique's potential transfer to Lyon. The transfer was anticipated since early 2024, but is not yet finalized. Textor is in contact with Luiz Henrique's representatives and plans to decide his future in the first week of January 2025. While the plan is for Luiz Henrique to move to Europe, there is a possibility he might play in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup for Botafogo.

Luiz Henrique has made the decision to join Lyon this winter. The transfer is made possible as both Botafogo and Lyon are owned by the Eagle Football group, which is led by John Textor. Although Lyon is temporarily relegated to Ligue 2 and is facing a recruitment ban, it is anticipated that John Textor will devise a creative solution to complete the transfer. Luiz Henrique and his representatives view the opportunity at Lyon as perfect for his development before making a move to a top European club. Luiz Henrique recently visited Lyon's facilities following Botafogo's loss to Pachuca in the Intercontinental Cup. While Botafogo has not officially confirmed the transfer, they had assured Luiz Henrique that he could move to Lyon when he wished.

Botafogo aims to retain Luiz Henrique, though the priority for his move to Europe is given to Lyon, as John Textor, the major shareholder of Botafogo's SAF, is also the major shareholder of Lyon.

Botafogo is obligated to pay an additional 2 million euros to Betis due to Luiz Henrique's performance triggering a bonus. If Luiz Henrique transfers to Olympique Lyonnais or another European club, an additional 2 million euros must be paid to Betis. His recent call-up to the Brazilian national team increases the likelihood of a return to Europe.

Luiz Henrique, like Thiago Almada, was recruited by Botafogo with the intention of joining Olympique Lyonnais later. The sporting director of Botafogo, Alessandro Brito, confirmed that both Almada and Henrique are not eager to move to Lyon this winter. John Textor, the owner, has suggested that he will not compel the players to make the move.

Luiz Henrique left Real Betis in February to return to Brazil, specifically to Botafogo, for a check of 20 million euros, making it the biggest transfer for a Brazilian club. The club, owned by John Textor, included an 'OL clause', allowing the 23-year-old player to join the Rhone-based formation this summer or next January. However, at the moment, the player does not seem to be decided to join France, as he confided in an interview with Ge Globo. Luiz Henrique expressed, "I am very happy here in Brazil. I intend to stay here until the end of the year. I'm not thinking about Europe yet. I want to do my part here, at Botafogo. I want to restructure Botafogo, it's a club that really deserves to be up there. It's a club that fights (for titles), it's like our family. I want to bring my stone to the building. We will talk about Lyon later". OL will have to wait.
