Botafogo enters the week to decide the fate of players whose contracts are expiring


Gabriel Pires and Diego Costa do not yet have a defined situation at Botafogo




Botafogo is on the market, but is also thinking of retaining part of the group for the 2023 season, which shows that the year wasn’t such a waste. In the midst of negotiations with Cristian Medina, of Boca Juniors, Alvinegro has decisive days for Gabriel Pires and Diego Costa, who are in the last days of their contracts.

Gabriele Pires

Midfielder Gabriel Pires joined the club in August 2022 on loan from Benfica. The bond includes a fixed purchase provision of an undisclosed value. The idea is to renew the loan to have the player next season. The Portuguese team, however, prefers to sell him. Negotiations are still ongoing and the decision on whether or not to stay is expected to come down this week.

Diego Costa

The attacker caught up Botafogo in August 2023 as an option for Tiquinho Soares. Diego’s situation also remains pending and the decision will be made before the contract expires. The number 19 played 15 matches with the black and white shirt and scored three goals, all in the Brazilian championship.

As the week goes by, the fate of these two players becomes an enigma that will only be solved in the next chapters. Botafogo is waiting to see if this will be a period of renewal and continuity or a time of farewells and new challenges. In General Severiano the week is full of expectations and the Juventus heart beats strong.
