It isn’t said how much Everton and Napoli would be offering, or Botafogo demanding for the player. The Brazilian club rejected an offer from Spartak Moscow in the last transfer window, and now see a better opportunity to sell him to the English or Italian club.

Fabiano Bandeira, one of the fans in the chat, mentioned that when watching Luis Henrique at first, he used to see similarities to Richarlison’s game. Now he finds it interesting that Everton want the Botafogo player too.
