The Botafogo's department of football is monitoring other players to reinforce the attack, prioritizing speed and versatility. The club has a budget of over R$ 6 million less due to the departures of players in this transfer window. This has led the club to look for players outside of their usual radar, with a focus on those who can offer speed and versatility.
The negotiation with Everton Cebolinha, a right-footed player, has cooled down and is considered difficult. The club had initially considered signing Cebolinha, but the deal has stalled. Matheus Martins, who failed his medical tests in Russia, has returned to the club, but the search for a left-footed winger continues.
The Botafogo has a week to finalize the signing of a winger before the transfer window closes on September 11.
