Luiz Henrique’s Impact at Botafogo
Luiz Henrique, a key figure in Botafogo’s squad, has been pivotal in their triumphs this season. His performances have not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from European clubs. The 23-year-old winger, known for his pace and technical skills, joined Botafogo in January 2024, marking a record signing for the club.
Previous Transfer Interests
