Globo.com reports that Botafogo's aspiration to sign Luiz Henrique from Zenit is considered a dream for the club. At present, Botafogo does not have the financial means to buy Luiz Henrique. The only possible path for a negotiation would be a swap involving Danilo, but he maintains his decision not to transfer to Russia. According to the report, Zenit's management has only shown interest in Danilo from the Botafogo squad, and the negotiation between Zenit and Danilo is considered to be impossible, a view held even by people from Botafogo. Another complicating factor is an 11 million dollar debt Botafogo owes Zenit for the purchase of Artur, scheduled for early 2025. This value was included in Botafogo's judicial recovery process, and the Russian club still needs to approve the payment conditions. The hiring is regarded as a sporting dream and a potential showcase for the incoming GDA management, but there is currently pessimism about a positive outcome. The transfer window closes on September 11.
