Internally, Zenit has established parameters for a transfer: their ideal negotiation value is 50 million euros, but they are willing to discuss values around 40 million euros plus performance bonuses. Luiz Henrique, who has 11 caps for Brazil, has a contract with the club until the end of 2028 and a current market value of €24.00m according to Transfermarkt. In the current 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he has made 16 appearances, with 2 goals and 3 assists.
