Zenit's intention is to keep the 25-year-old Brazilian winger Luiz Henrique until at least the end of the season. However, the player is not considered non-transferable, and the club is open to a sale if they receive a significant offer. The Russian club's ideal valuation for the player is €50 million, but they would be willing to negotiate a transfer for a fixed fee of approximately €40 million, supplemented by performance-based bonuses. Palmeiras considered a potential bid of R$ 180 million, which Zenit considers to be an insufficient amount.
Luiz Henrique has made 11 appearances for Brazil, scoring 2 goals. In the current 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists in 16 matches. He transferred to Zenit from Botafogo in January 2025 for a fee that was reported as €33 million, one year after he moved to the Brazilian club from Real Betis for €16 million. His contract with Zenit is valid until the end of 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €24.00m.
