West Ham United are willing to negotiate the departure of Luizao but are yet to receive any transfer offers, according to UOL.
The news outlet reports [14 December] that at least five clubs, including SC Internacional in the Brasileiro, have approached and contacted the Brazilian as the Hammers await offers to make a decision.
With the January window around the corner, the 22-year-old is expected to leave the East London club, with the defender prioritising a move back home.
Luizao joined the Irons in January 2023 after leaving Sao Paulo but hasn’t played for the senior team during his time at the London Stadium.
West Ham United should sanction Luizao transfer
Since joining the Hammers around 18 months ago, Luizao has struggled to get game time, and it doesn’t look like his situation will change.

The Brazil national has several quality players to contend with to get into Julen Lopetegui’s starting lineup.
Tim Steidten made quality additions to the backline in the summer, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Max Kilman and Jean-Clair Todibo making their way to the London Stadium.
While West Ham haven’t really set the world alight in the current campaign, Lopetegui seems to be rigid about his preferred players.

The Spaniard could soon find himself out of a job at the Hammers if things don’t change, but it’s hard to envision that a new manager will want to include Luizao in their plans.
With the centre-back set to become a father, it would be best for him to part ways with the Irons, who would also get him off their wage books.
The Hammers’ plans for the upcoming transfer window will be interesting, considering the uncertainty around Lopetegui.
