The eight players who left the club are Neto, Newton, Nathan Fernandes, Bastos, Raul, Chris Ramos, Léo Linck, and Joaquín Corrêa. Botafogo used different approaches to release them, such as selling Newton, loaning out Nathan Fernandes, Chris Ramos, and Léo Linck, and amicably rescinding the contracts of Neto, Bastos, Raul, and Joaquín Corrêa.
The club is still working to determine the fate of Ythallo and Caio Roque, who are no longer part of the plans since the Copa do Mundo. Botafogo aims to loan out Ythallo to gain match experience, while it needs to find a new club for Caio Roque, who is on loan with Portuguesa.
In addition to the departures, Botafogo has strengthened its squad by signing six new players: Warleson, Gabriel Batista, Lucas Monzón, Paulinho, Domingos Andrade, and Danilo Pereira. The club expects the monthly expenses for the new players to be less than half of the salary savings generated by the departures.
