FC Barcelona has its eyes set on Luiz Henrique, a young promise from Botafogo who has stood out as one of the emerging figures in South American football, as reported by Diario Sport.

The 23-year-old winger, who is experiencing a renaissance in his career after his time at Real Betis, has attracted the attention of the culé team thanks to his impact in the recent season and his key role in the historic conquest of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.

Luiz Henrique, on Barcelona's Radar

The Brazilian forward was decisive in the final of the continental tournament, contributing with a goal and an assist in the 3-1 victory against Atlético Mineiro, despite playing with fewer players from the early minutes. His performance has been outstanding, with 12 goals and 6 assists in 51 matches this season, leading to his inclusion in the Brazilian national team.

Barcelona's interest is not new. The Catalan club already had him on its radar during his time at Betis, although he did not manage to establish himself in LaLiga under the guidance of Manuel Pellegrini. However, his return to Brazilian football has allowed him to relaunch his career and become a disruptive and mature player, qualities that could fit perfectly into Hansi Flick's scheme, who has asked the club to sign another forward to rotate with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal.

Despite some off-field incidents that have marked his year, Luiz Henrique has shown great mental strength to overcome adversities and focus on football. With Barça monitoring his progress, the Brazilian is shaping up as a potential reinforcement for the blaugrana team's wings, which is seeking young and versatile talent to rejuvenate its squad for the future.
