The club has been working to strengthen its squad in key areas, opting for low-cost signings in the first transfer window under the influence of new investor GDA Luma. Two new goalkeepers, Warleson and Gabriel Batista, have been brought in to replace departing players. Additionally, the club has signed midfielder Paulinho to reforçar the lateral esquerda, and forward Danilo Pereira, who has been loaned from NEC Nijmegen.
Tiquinho Soares has also returned to the club, signing a contract tied to his productivity, while Hakim Ziyech has been signed from the free market. The club has also acquired Ferraresi on a permanent deal, who was already at the club on loan. Botafogo had also expressed interest in other players, including Matheus Gonçalves, whose transfer was frustrated after Al-Ahli refused to negotiate. The club's transfer activity is being overseen by Brunno Noce and Deive Bandeira, with Léo Coelho playing a key role in both arrivals and departures.
