The winter mercato of the 2025/26 season will open on Thursday January 1st 2026 and close on Monday February 2nd at 8pm. This period can be decisive depending on the results of the first half of the season. Marseille is preparing for an animated summer on the transfer front, with key decisions to come in order to build a squad worthy of European ambitions. The departure of Luis Henrique from Marseille seems inevitable. At 23 years old, the Brazilian should leave the club at the end of the season. Several European clubs are following his file, including Bayern Munich, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest, but discussions with Serie A’s Inter Milan seem to be the most advanced. According to Foot Mercato information, a verbal agreement has even been reached between Inter and the player, who has nevertheless extended his contract with Marseille until 2028. Negotiations are said to be fluid between the two clubs. Inter would like to integrate Luis Henrique into their squad for the Club World Cup (June 15th - July 13th). On the other hand, Marseille must imperatively balance its accounts before June 30th, which could accelerate the transaction. The expected amount exceeds 30 million euros, thanks to the player’s versatility, able to evolve in different positions on the right side.
