In recent days, there have been continuous rumors about Inter’s interest in Luis Henrique. However, one of the doubts frequently raised concerns his suitability for the role in Inzaghi’s 3-5-2 formation, as he currently plays as an offensive winger in Marseille’s attacking trio.
Nonetheless, Inter remains convinced of the qualities of the Brazilian born in 2001 and would like to reach an agreement with OM before the end of May, thus having him available by June for the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, the role coach Simone Inzaghi envisions for him in his habitual 3-5-2 system is becoming clearer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Luis Henrique could feature as a right-sided wing-back tasked with operating along the entire flank. He would therefore be an offensive-minded player positioned in the same area usually occupied by Dumfries when the team needs to attack, considering his strong one-on-one ability. His tactical role would resemble Buchanan’s, although the Canadian player experienced limited success at San Siro.
