Inter Milan & Bayern Munich Go Head-To-Head For Marseille – Bayern Interest Stretches Back Several Years | OneFootball

Inter Milan and Bayern Munich are set to go head-to-head for Marseille’s Bayern Munich, with the Bavarians having been keen for several years.

This according to Brazilian outlet Globoesporte, via FCInterNews. They report that Bayern first showed an interest in signing the 23-year-old when he was a teenager at Tres Passos.

Inter Milan are reportedly working to sign Marseille winger Luis Henrique.

The Brazilian is a player who the Nerazzurri see as a potential backup option for Denzel Dumfries at wingback.

However, Inter are not the only club keen on Henrique’s signature.

There’s also interest from the Premier League, with Norttingham Forest and Newcastle United also admirers of the 23-year-old Marseille winger.

However, Inter’s primary competition to sign Henrique could come from the Bundesliga.

Bayern Munich will be Inter’s opposition in the Champions League quarterfinals this month.

But the two European heavy-hitters are also ready to go head-to-head off the pitch.

Bayern see Luis Henrique as a target just as much as Inter do.

Moreover, Globoesporte note, this is not the first time that the Bavarians have eyed up Henrique.

The Brazilian caught Bayern’s eye in a friendly match against his former club Tres Passos all the way back in 2016.

That interest never came to anything.

However, Luis Henrique never totally fell off of Bayern’s radar.

And the Brazilian’s form for Marseille this season has resulted in the German giants reigniting their pursuit of Henrique.
