Botafogo in talks to bring striker Júnior Santos back | OneFootball

Júnior Santos may be close to wearing the Botafogo jersey again. The player did not have a consistent run at Atlético-MG, and the Rio de Janeiro club believes his return could be beneficial for the team.

Atlético-MG is not interested in keeping the 31-year-old player, who cost around R$ 47 million. Sold by Botafogo after being the top scorer in the Libertadores title won by the Rio club, Júnior Santos played 28 matches for Galo, scoring only two goals and providing one assist.

The transfer window remains open for transactions between Brazilian clubs until March 27. It is worth noting that the international window closes this Tuesday.
