The Brazilian club is seeking to strengthen its squad in the final week of the transfer window, and Fabricio Pérez is one of the targets. The 20-year-old has already made a name for himself in Argentina, where he won the Torneio Clausura with Estudiantes last year. He has also played on the right and left wings, and is valued at €2 million (approximately R$ 11.9 million) on the market.

Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Botafogo's idea is to sign Fabricio Pérez on loan with an option to buy, which would allow the club to assess his performance before making a permanent move. The young winger has made 48 appearances for Estudiantes, scoring five goals and providing one assist.
