The report has caused confusion among the club's fans, with some questioning whether an agreement had been signed between the two parties. However, Globo Esporte Futebol has confirmed that the report is correct, and there is no agreement for the acquisition of the controlling shareholder.

A separate agreement was signed between SAF Botafogo and GDA Luma on June 5, outlining the terms of a US$ 105 million investment in the club. The initial US$ 50 million has already been injected into the club, with a further US$ 13 million expected to be paid in the coming weeks to cover daily expenses.
