Borussia Dortmund considered January swoop for Monaco’s Caio Henrique | OneFootball

AS Monaco full-back Caio Henrique (27) almost made a move to Borussia Dortmund late in the January transfer window, according to a report from L’Équipe.

At the time of the approach, Henrique found himself out of favour at Monaco. The Brazilian was struggling to recover from an ACL injury suffered in the autumn of 20233 and was struggling to replicate the kind of form that saw him earn a place in the international set-up.

At the end of January, Adi Hütter went public in expressing his discontent with Henrique’s performances and went so far as to leave him out of the matchday squad to face Stade Rennais. It was around this time that Borussia Dortmund considered a mvoe for the full-back.

Niko Kovac, with whom Henrique worked at Monaco, had just taken over at the Bundesliga side and a reunion between the pair was on the cards. Ultimately, however, the Brazilian remained at the Principality club and re-found his place in the starting XI.
