Barcelona reportedly asked Racing to pay the entire salary of Henrique, something that is at this moment being rejected by Racing.

Racing site El Racinguista claims that Henrique earns 1 million euro a year. Madrid sports tabloid As reports that a loan would cost 2 million euros in salary payments, while Racing would only be willing to pay around 500 000 euro. Despite the fact that the player's agent Marcos Malaquías has received several offers from German clubs, Henrique would prefer to join a Liga team.

Racing Santander would meanwhile already have reached a personal agreement with the player's agent. Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that after a meeting between Racing and the agents of the player on Tuesday, it was expected that Henrique could travel to Santander yesterday to finalize, but this didn't happen in the end.
