Inter Milan Closer to Signing Luis Henrique from Marseille

Inter Milan are close to signing Marseille winger Luis Henrique. They have agreed on personal terms, and both clubs continue to talk about the transfer. Inter hopes to complete the deal soon, so the Brazilian can play in the FIFA Club World Cup.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Inter Milan want Luis Henrique as their main target for the summer. They have agreed on a five-year contract, keeping him at the club until June 2030. Inter have offered Marseille €24 million plus €4 million in bonuses, which is near Marseille’s €30 million asking price. Henrique, who has scored nine goals and provided eight assists in 32 games for Marseille, prefers moving to San Siro. He also had interest from Bayern Munich and Juventus. The move now depends on Inter and Marseille agreeing on payment terms soon. Inter hopes to finish the transfer before the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.

INTER’S CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON AND HENRIQUE’S IMPACT

Inter Milan had a great season, winning the Serie A title and securing a spot in the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Signing the 23-year-old Henrique adds depth to their attack, as he can play on either wing. His strong season with Marseille shows his potential impact at Inter, providing creativity to a squad aiming for success in domestic and international competitions. Marseille finished sixth in Ligue 1, and losing Henrique will affect them. However, the transfer fee will help their summer rebuild.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR INTER AND MARSEILLE?

Inter want to finish negotiations quickly to have Henrique ready for the Club World Cup, starting in mid-June. Inter’s next official match will be at the tournament, where they represent Italy as Serie A champions. Marseille must find a replacement for their key winger before next season starts. They aim to improve their league performance and qualify for European competitions. Both clubs are expected to speed up talks in the coming days, and an official announcement might happen before the end of May.
