Zenit rejected a 45 million euro offer from Al Ittihad for Luiz Henrique and has decided not to negotiate his departure. Roma also had a proposal rejected that could have reached 43 million euros, while Brazilian clubs Botafogo and Flamengo also attempted to sign the attacker. ESPN reported that Flamengo's 35 million euro offer did not proceed because Zenit demanded the fee upfront while the Brazilian side wanted to pay in installments.
