Botafogo is active in the market searching for reinforcements, and some names are part of the club’s plans. But on another front, there is a small group of players who will leave General Severiano to reduce the payroll and make room for new deals.

Names out of the plans

The first member of the departing group was forward Mastriani. The player, who had few opportunities in 2025, was informed that he will have to return to Athletico Paranaense.

Another player who has already left Botafogo was defender Gabriel Bahia. The Glorioso ruled out the possibility of permanently buying the federative rights of the athlete, who came from Volta Redonda.

Midfielder Newton is another who may be negotiated. A starter in a good part of the year’s matches, he lost his place with the arrival of Danilo, who became a starter alongside Marlon Freitas. Vitória is interested in signing the player.

Still on the topic of midfielders, Allan is not expected to stay. The player was unable to have a good run during his 18 months at Botafogo and is not part of the board’s plans.

Club planning

Botafogo wants to define most of the squad before the start of the season. On vacation since the end of their participation in the Brazilian Championship, the players return to work in January. This month, the Campeonato Carioca and the Brazilian Championship already begin.
