Botafogo continues to strengthen its squad in this transfer window. On Tuesday, the Rio de Janeiro club announced the signing of defender Gabriel Silva on loan from Volta Redonda until the end of March 2026.

“Gabriel’s arrival is the result of the scouting department’s work, monitoring 100% of the matches we play in Series A and B in person. We have followed him throughout this process; he is an athlete who has evolved every year in his career, and that caught our attention. That’s why we are betting on his signing, for now on loan, but with an obligation to buy if he achieves what we expect from him,” said Alessandro Brito, Botafogo’s Director of Sports Management.

Since 2023, at Volta Redonda, Gabriel Silva has played 27 matches for the club this season, scoring three goals. He was even a starter in all the matches of the Campeonato Carioca at the beginning of the year, in the campaign that took Voltaço to the semifinals of the competition.

Gabriel Silva is the fifth reinforcement for Davide Ancelotti’s team in this transfer window. In addition to him, Glorioso had already announced forward Chris Ramos, goalkeeper Neto, defensive midfielder Danilo, and midfielder Jordan Barrera.

The player has already been registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and could make his debut for Botafogo this Wednesday, against Vasco, in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil. The match kicks off at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at São Januário, in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).
