Goalkeeper Bruno Samudio signs first professional contract with Botafogo | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Bruno Samudio signed his first professional contract with Botafogo. The 16-year-old goalkeeper is part of the Under-17 team of the Alvinegro Carioca and remains available for the competitions of the season.

“It is a very special moment for me. Signing my first professional contract with Botafogo is the realization of a dream. I am very grateful to the club for their trust and I will continue to work hard to evolve more and more and help Glorioso achieve new goals,” said Bruno.

Botafogo's Youth Academy Director, Augusto Oliveira, emphasized the importance of valuing athletes trained at the club and highlighted the goalkeeper's performance over the last season.

“He had a high-level season, being a protagonist with the Botafogo jersey and also with the Brazilian National Team. This step reinforces our commitment to valuing athletes trained here and translates what we seek in the youth categories: to form prepared, identified, and ready players to wear the Botafogo jersey,” he said.

Bruno joined Botafogo in 2024, after a stint at Athletico-PR. The athlete also has call-ups for the Brazilian youth team and was the South American Under-15 champion wearing the yellow jersey. The young player is the son of Eliza Samudio and former goalkeeper Bruno, who was sentenced to 22 years and one month in prison for the murder of the athlete's mother in 2013.
