Luis Henrique Set for Inter Milan Medical After €25 Million Deal with Marseille

Brazilian winger Luis Henrique is close to joining Inter Milan. He will have medical tests on Tuesday after Inter agreed on a transfer deal with Olympique de Marseille.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Luis Henrique will arrive in Milan to have his medical checks. After that, he will sign a long-term contract with Inter Milan. The Italian champions agreed to pay Marseille €25 million, including bonuses. The 23-year-old did well last season with nine goals and eight assists for Marseille. Many top European clubs showed interest, but he chose Serie A. His performance helped Marseille stay competitive, making him a sought-after young talent in Europe this summer.

WHY INTER SIGNED LUIS HENRIQUE

Inter Milan wants to improve their attack after a successful season in Serie A. Their attack, led by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram, was good. But since players like Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa are leaving, they need more depth. Henrique’s arrival is a strategic move to keep Inter strong in Italy and Europe. Inter are tied with Napoli in the league and are fighting for the Coppa Italia, with a big semi-final match against AC Milan coming up. Inter’s management is planning for the future, and more squad changes are likely this summer.

WHAT’S NEXT?

After completing his medical, Luis Henrique will sign a five-year contract with Inter until 2030. Henrique is expected to join the team for the FIFA Club World Cup in mid-June. This will give coach Simone Inzaghi more options in attack. Inter’s next game is the Coppa Italia semi-final against rival AC Milan, with the current score tied at 1-1. In Serie A, Inter are competing closely with Napoli. Henrique’s speed and creativity could give Inter an extra edge as they chase more trophies this season.
