Flamengo join Botafogo in race to sign goalkeeper from Portuguese club | OneFootball

Which goalkeeper is Flamengo competing with Botafogo to sign?

In addition to searching for a striker, a goalkeeper is also on Flamengo's list of priorities for the 2026 season. For this reason, the Most Beloved has entered the race with Botafogo to sign Andrew, from Gil Vicente (POR).

According to information from the newspaper O Globo, the goalkeeper revealed to people close to him that he prefers to play for Botafogo. However, the Rio de Janeiro club is going through a financial crisis, in addition to having suffered a transfer ban, and may not move forward in the negotiations.

Therefore, Flamengo is ‘running from behind’ and trying to sign Andrew in this transfer window. The Most Beloved's interest in the Brazilian is linked to the difficulty in advancing negotiations with Santos for Gabriel Brazão.

Who is Andrew?

Andrew came up through Botafogo’s youth academy. The goalkeeper is experiencing the best moment of his career at Gil Vicente and has caught the attention of the black-and-white team and Flamengo, both of whom are looking to sign a goalkeeper in this transfer window.

It’s worth mentioning that the goalkeeper is one of the standouts of the Portuguese Championship. In November, for example, Andrew won the award for best goalkeeper for the second consecutive month, as he also received the prize in October.
