On the eve of the third qualifying phase of the Copa Libertadores, Botafogo is racing against time to extend the contracts of important players in the squad. One of the situations in suspense is that of Barboza, who currently has a contract until the end of 2026.

After winning the Taça Rio last Saturday, the defender revealed that negotiations are stalled. Furthermore, he shared what he needs to continue with Glorioso:

“I don't know. Everything is on hold. I have already stated what I need to renew, it's not much. In terms of the contract, everything is agreed, but I need security. That's all,” he said at Arena Alvinegra.

The alvinegros reached a consensus to extend the contract until the end of 2029. However, Alexander Barboza wants to better understand Botafogo's planning before signing the new agreement. In January, the club suffered a transfer ban, and in addition, Eagle Football, John Textor's company, is going through a corporate crisis.
