Gabriel de Alba's company, GDA Luma, will become the majority shareholder of the SAF company that controls Botafogo. The investment is divided into $25 million for the transfer ban of Almada, $14.5 million in July, and $10.5 million. The agreement between the parties includes the obligation to maintain Botafogo as one of the five largest salary sheets in Brazil.
Gabriel de Alba is considering possible investments in the current transfer window, which ends on September 11. The new investor is not ruling out the possibility of hiring new players in the current transfer window. Gabriel de Alba has already made his first decision as an investor, which was the departure of Franclim Carvalho. The next step is to decide on the new coach, with Rodrigo Bellão, who currently coaches the under-20 team, being considered as an interim coach.
