THE Botafogo wants to get his ‘foot in the door’ at the ball market, but he still hasn’t tied his own shoe to be able to do so. This is more or less a metaphor that can define the moment the club lives in the search for reinforcements. Alvinegro even presents good numbers and pleases players, but still cannot make offers official due to the bureaucratic issue of the SAF.
+ Enderson explains that transition to Textor is an obstacle at Botafogo and seeks reinforcements with ‘significant curriculum’
Elkeson and Óscar Romero, for example, enter this case. Botafogo made a proposal that pleased the striker, arriving at the numbers that the staff had asked for. The midfielder did not see the best figures for Alvinegro compared to the United States, but Glorioso tries to convince him with projection and sports, “leading to run” not moment.

Everything seems to be going well: Elkeson and Óscar Romero like the proposals, the club is looking for top players… But Alvinegro has not made the offer official. Glorioso was not able to start the final part of the negotiations and move on to the “handshake” part because the details of the contracts for the sale of SAF with John Textor had not yet been finalized. The bridge loan is on its way.
With the entry of the money, Botafogo will have the funds to guarantee the proposals and, then, officialize the steps to seek the players. There is no exact date for the figures to be in the account.
The thing is, times are different. Botafogo’s behavior in the past – even at the end of last year – was not looking for players at the level that are being linked at this moment. The financial support allows this. Even with the possible injection in the cashiers, the club puts responsibility above anything else.
The football department has names mapped and conversations going on with other players. Rafael Carioca is considered another “dream”, but, unlike Elkeson and Óscar Romero, there is an obstacle in the way: Tigres-MEX, which so far has not shown signs of a free release.
Players are offered daily, and the South American market has once again opened its eyes to Botafogo. Marcelo Saracchi, left-back who left RB Leipzig at the end of 2021, is one of the cases. Alvinegro considers the name interesting and analyzes the conditions.
The fact is that times should be hectic in Botafogo with regard to the market in the coming weeks. The club depends on a green light and financial transitions with Textor to finally be able to break down the door.
