RIO DE JANEIRO, May 2 (Xinhua) -- Highly rated Botafogo teenager Luis Henrique could join Juventus in the European summer transfer window, according to media reports in Brazil.
Botafogo officials see a possible deal involving the forward as a way to ease the club's financial plight, which has worsened in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the Uol news portal reported on Saturday.
The 18-year-old from the northeastern Brazilian city of Joao Pessoa is contracted to Botafogo until July 2022 and has a 32 million U.S. dollars release clause.
Henrique has made just nine first-team appearances for Botafogo since joining the Rio de Janeiro club in 2019.
Juventus currently have three Brazilians in their squad: Forward Douglas Costa, right-back Danilo and left-back Alex Sandro.
