Botafogo eye Wallace Davi, consider move for Fluminense midfielder | OneFootball

Botafogo has shown interest in signing midfielder Wallace Davi, 18 years old, one of the recent gems from Xerém. According to information from journalist Marcello Neves, from Ge, the black-and-white club approached Fluminense’s board in recent days to understand the conditions for a possible deal involving the young athlete.

Initially, the talks between the clubs included a swap: Marlon Freitas from Botafogo, plus financial compensation for Tricolor. However, the negotiations cooled off after Palmeiras stepped in and moved forward with the signing of Marlon Freitas, a product of Xerém.

Even without the possibility of a swap, Botafogo’s interest in Wallace Davi remains. Still, the situation has become more complex. Without Marlon involved in the deal, Fluminense is likely to make any departure more difficult, as they see the midfielder as an important piece for the start of the 2026 season.
