Bournemouth have reportedly submitted a formal bid for underperforming Inter Milan winger Luis Henrique.
According to Calciomercato, the Cherries have already overtaken Henrique’s long-term admirers, Besiktas, in the race for his signature.
Luis Henrique has failed to live up to his €23 million price tag at San Siro.
After a series of underwhelming performances, manager Cristian Chivu has deemed him surplus to requirements.
Therefore, Inter are reportedly open to selling the former Olympique Marseille star this winter.
Bournemouth Make Formal Bid for Inter Milan Winger Luis Henrique
Besiktas have been trying to engineer Henrique’s switch to Istanbul since the start of January.
However, Sergen Yalcin’s men were hoping to sign the Brazilian ace on loan with an option to buy.
On the other hand, Inter are keen to recoup their investment and would prefer an immediate sale.
Furthermore, the Nerazzurri are already working on signing PSV Eindhoven veteran Ivan Perisic as a short-term solution for the right wing.
Perisic’s arrival would likely facilitate Henrique’s exit, with Bournemouth eager to lure him to the Vitality Stadium.
