🛒 Matheus Martins 'holds up' Botafogo exit to Russian club: why | OneFootball

Eliminated from the Copa do Brasil and the Conmebol Sudamericana, Botafogo is focusing its efforts on the Brasileirão, where it sits in 11th place with 30 points.

Off the field, Glorioso is looking for a fresh start, with a new SAF management after John Textor’s departure.

And this moment of “general overhaul” is also reshaping the team currently led on an interim basis by Rodrigo Bellão, from the under-20 squad.

Forward Tiquinho Soares is returning to Alvinegro, while Santi Rodríguez is expected to move to MLS.

And Matheus Martins, who was on his way to Dynamo Moscow after the Russian club made an offer of 7 million euros (around R$ 42.4 million), has hit a snag in the negotiations.

According to GE, the forward was not satisfied with the salary offer from the Russians, as he would earn less than he currently does at Botafogo, and he sent a counteroffer.

If everything is sorted out, Matheus Martins will sign a four-year contract with Dynamo Moscow.
