Transfer: Fiorentina's Pursuit of Luiz Henrique Hits a Roadblock as Opening Bid is Rejected

Fiorentina's initial offer for Brazilian star Luiz Henrique has been turned down by Botafogo and the Textor Group, who are holding out for a transfer fee exceeding €30m.

Fiorentina's efforts to sign Luiz Henrique have encountered an obstacle, as their opening bid for the Brazilian forward has been rejected by Botafogo and the Textor Group. The two parties, who own the player's rights, are reportedly seeking a transfer fee of over €30m, which has prompted Fiorentina to reassess their offer.

Despite the setback, Luiz Henrique remains Fiorentina's primary target, and negotiations are ongoing to try and reach a mutually agreeable deal. However, the complexity of the transfer, involving multiple parties, has made it challenging for Fiorentina to secure the player's signature.

As the talks continue, Fiorentina will need to decide whether to increase their offer to meet the valuation of Botafogo and the Textor Group or explore alternative targets to strengthen their squad.
