Domingos Andrade is very close to joining Botafogo, with the midfielder having a three-season contract with the Rio de Janeiro club on the table. FC Porto are expected to receive around two million euros, including variables. However, the transfer will only be made official after Botafogo overcome the transfer bans issue, which currently prevents them from registering new players. Some of the pending matters have already been resolved as part of the ongoing judicial recovery process.
At 23, the midfielder earned his place in Porto’s B team, for whom he made 58 appearances over two seasons. His performances and the experience he gained sparked interest in Angola. The player had already been in talks with Botafogo, managed by Portuguese coach Franclim Carvalho, former assistant to Artur Jorge during Fogão’s outstanding season.
Developed at Sporting, Domingos Andrade joined FC Porto from Felgueiras and is now preparing to take his career in a new direction with a move to the high-profile Brasileirão.
