Also present in holding of the American businessman, the Lyon will buy the young Brazilian. As there is no space for another non-EU player (athletes from countries outside the European Union and nations that were not colonized by France), the athlete will be loaned to the Brazilian club for six months.
Negotiation is already in the legal part, where contracts are drawn up and no longer just conversations. The information was first given by the newspaper Relieffrom Spain, and confirmed by the report from ESPN.
Lyon had an advantage over Corinthians, Flamengo and Fluminense due to the format of the offer made to Betis. While the Brazilians were looking for a loan, the Spanish wanted to sell the player permanently. Furthermore, John Textor personally met the directors of the Spanish club in Seville.
Formed at Fluminense, Luiz Henrique headed to Spain in July 2022. At Betis, he played 63 games and scored four goals.
