Botafogo sign Portuguesa full-back on loan | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Monday, Botafogo announced the signing of left-back Caio Roque. The 24-year-old player joins on loan from Portuguesa, in a deal valid until the end of 2026. The Glorioso paid financial compensation to Lusa, who has a contract with the player until the end of 2027.

Caio Roque joined Portuguesa this season and was instrumental in their Paulista Championship campaign. The left-back said goodbye to the team after nine matches and two assists.

Revealed by Flamengo in 2019, Caio Roque had stints at Lommel in Belgium, Bahia, Londrina, and Volta Redonda before arriving at Portuguesa.

Caio Roque arrives at Botafogo to compete for a spot at left-back. After Marçal's injury, the player is expected to compete with Jhoan Hernández for the immediate backup position to Alex Telles.

Botafogo’s next match

Botafogo returns to the field next Wednesday, when they face Palmeiras away from home at Allianz Parque, continuing their Brazilian Championship campaign. The match will be an opportunity for the team to try to bounce back after a negative streak this season.
