Botafogo close to extending Marçal’s contract until 2027 | OneFootball

The contract of left-back Marçal with Botafogo is expected to be renewed next week. Both parties talked a few days ago and left the new agreement very close to being signed.

The behind-the-scenes dynamics played a role in the renewal of the athlete's contract. Besides having an excellent relationship with the management, the player is internally seen, alongside Marlon Freitas, as a leader of the Glorioso squad. On several occasions, Marçal is seen as a coach on the field, assisting Davide Ancelotti.

The player's flexibility works in his favor. Originally a left-back, Marçal can also play in the defense, a position where he has performed well this season. Additionally, he has a good aerial game.

Marçal's contract with Botafogo expires in December. However, the new agreement, to be signed in the coming days, will extend until December 2027.

Botafogo's Situation

Fighting for a spot in the G5, Botafogo is seventh, with 60 points, and will have to hope for Fluminense and Bahia to falter to try to reach the Libertadores group stage.
