Inter Milan secure Luis Henrique in key Summer Transfer

The Nerazzurri close in on their second summer signing as the Brazilian winger joins from Marseille, bringing pace and creativity to the right flank

Breaking news: Inter Milan have virtually completed a deal with Olympique Marseille for the signing of Brazilian winger Luis Henrique. 

The agreement, nearing finalization, marks Inter Milan’s second major summer acquisition after Luka Sucic. 

Henrique is expected to join the squad in time for the 2025 Club World Cup, adding both youth and versatility to the team.

At just 23 years old, Luis Henrique will initially serve as a backup to Denzel Dumfries on the right flank but could also see minutes across other attacking roles. 

Known for his pace, dribbling, and offensive output in Ligue 1, the former Marseille player brings fresh energy and tactical options to Simone Inzaghi—or potentially his successor.

From Ligue 1 to San Siro: What Luis Henrique brings to Inter Milan

Inter Milan’s management, led by the Viale della Liberazione headquarters, view Henrique as a long-term investment with strong upside. 

According to Opta data via Fcinter1908.it, he was Marseille’s only player in the 2024/25 Ligue 1 season to register at least 7 goals and 7 assists. 

Among players to reach those numbers, only Bradley Barcola and Rayan Cherki were younger—highlighting Henrique’s rare combination of productivity and potential.

Henrique’s offensive instinct and ability to stretch defenses make him an ideal fit for Inter Milan’s wide play and counterattacking approach. 

His signing also reflects the Nerazzurri’s intent to remain competitive not only in Serie A but also on the international stage, especially with the expanded Champions League format and the Club World Cup on the horizon.

This move strengthens Inter Milan’s bench while adding internal competition and rotational depth, key factors in navigating a congested fixture calendar. The deal underlines Inter Milan’s proactive and data-driven approach to the transfer market.

As fans wait for the official announcement, optimism is growing. 

With players like Sucic and Henrique arriving, Inter Milan are preparing for a demanding season filled with domestic and global challenges—one where every piece of the squad could prove decisive.
