On May 28, famous reporter Romano used his iconic "Here we go" to confirm that Brazilian Flying Wing Luis Enrique, who plays for Ligue 1 Marseille, will soon join Inter Milan, and the two clubs have reached an oral agreement with a total price of 25 million euros. The player will receive a five-year contract and play with the team in the Club World Cup next month.

Louis Enrique, born in December 2001, is only 23 years old this year and is from the youth training in Botafogo, Brazil. He joined Marseille in July 2020, and returned to Bottafogo on loan for one and a half seasons. In the just-concluded 2024/25 season, Louis Enrique played in 35 games for Marseille, scoring a quasi-double-double with 9 goals and 9 assists, helping Marseille win the second place in Ligue 1, and his performance is still remarkable.

As a wing player, Louis Enrique, who is a winger, has amazing speed and excellent footwork skills, and has first-class passes and shots. In addition, his physical ability to confront and his defensive interception is also done quite well. Under Dezelby this season, Louis Enrique has played in wingers, wingbacks and fullbacks, which can be said to be a one-way draw. His outstanding performance has also been favored by Serie A giants Inter Milan.

This season, Inter Milan attacked in the fourth line under the leadership of coach Inzaghi, and won the Serie A and Italian Super Cup championships, reaching the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and the Champions League finals. Although the record is good, the weaknesses of the main players' age and lack of bench depth are also very obvious. Especially at the right wingback position, although Dutch international Dumfries performed well, he has been troubled by injuries many times this season, so finding a rotation player and successor for him has become the top priority for Inter Milan. And Louis Enrique is obviously a very suitable candidate.

Of course, it is not easy to get Louis Enrique. His outstanding performance this season has made Marseille mark him a very expensive price of 30 million euros. Inter Milan's previous quotation of 20 million euros obviously did not satisfy Marseille. However, financial difficulties forced Marseille to sell some of the players in the team before June 30, so Inter Milan added 5 million euros to 20 million euros, and successfully convinced Marseille to release the players with a total price of 25 million euros.

Now, Inter Milan Chairman Marlotta and Marseille Chairman Longoria are finalizing payment terms, and Louis Enrique will receive a five-year contract, and he will be ready to play with Inter Milan to the upcoming Club World Cup. Convincing Marseille to release people in advance will definitely be reflected in the negotiations. Inter Milan's buying methods are once again amazing. And the formation of the three central defenders of Inzaghi will also be enhanced by the arrival of the Brazilian wings.
