The Brazilian, 22, is a right winger who plays for a team in Europe. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and other powerhouse clubs have taken notice of him due to his impressive achievements.
Henrique is a backup and potential Salah replacement, according to Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool f c. Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, both of the Merseysiders, are vying for the left starting slot. In order to play the lead role, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez are acting in this way. Salah’s right-side support is, however, completely lacking.
Henrique might be useful and Betis might be forced to sell him due to their severe financial situation. The Merseysiders can afford the asking price for Henrique, which the La Liga team is certain it will be between €30 million and €40 million.
