Barboza from Botafogo offered to Fluminense, now on their radar

Botafogo defender Alexander Barboza has been offered to Fluminense as a possible option for the defensive system for the 2026 season. The information comes from journalist Gabriel Amaral.

Although he has a good relationship with Botafogo and feels comfortable at the black-and-white club, Barboza's contract only runs until the end of this year. The parties are still negotiating a renewal, but if no agreement is reached, the defender will be able to sign a pre-contract with any team starting mid-year and leave Botafogo for free in December.

The Argentine's name has come up as an alternative especially in light of interest from Bologna, Italy, in defender Juan Freytes. Fluminense is monitoring the market to avoid being caught off guard should the defender leave.
