Lucas Halter is announced as the new reinforcement of Botafogo’s defence


The 23-year-old Atletico-PR defender, who was in Goiás, arrives to replace Adryelson in the Botafogo team




Defender Lucas Halter is Botafogo’s new signing for the 2024 season. He played for Goiás, on loan from Atletico-PR, in the 2023 Brazilian championship. The contract is valid until December 2027. Botafogo bought the 80 % of the player’s savings with the rights for 2 dollars. million (R $ 9.75 million). The remaining 20%, among other things, remains with Atletico-PR.

Halter was already known to Glorioso’s coach, Tiago Nunes, from the beginning of his career. After all, he graduated from Furacão’s youth team when Nunes was working at the Paraná club. In fact, he was the same coach who promoted the athlete to the professional team. Furthermore, the defender also appreciated the Botafogo management for its technical and leadership profile.

Born on 5/2/2000, in Salto, a city of 120 thousand inhabitants 105 km from the capital San Paolo, Halter is 23 years old and 1.88 m tall. Botafogo becomes the third team of his short career. The defender comes to fill the absence of Adryelson, who was sold to Lyon.

In the Goiás club, Halter played 54 matches and scored 6 goals. One of these was in the draw against Botafogo, on 2/10/2023, when he scored in the first half, opening the scoring for Goiás at the Nilton Santos Stadium, in Rio de Janeiro. But Tiquinho Soares equalized for the Rio team in stoppage time. At the time, Fogão reached its fourth match without a win, compounding concerns about the team’s performance.

Other reinforcements at Botafogo

Halter was also called up to join the Brazilian team at the Pan American Games, but was left out of the group due to injury. He arrives at Botafogo to replace Adryelson, who went to Lyon, France. In addition to Lucas Halter, Alvinegro also signed the Argentine Alexander Barboza, who played for Libertad and should arrive in Rio this Monday (8).

Botafogo also made official the arrival of other reinforcements: goalkeeper John, who belonged to Santos, but played in Spanish football; and striker Jeffinho, who returns to the Rio club, this time on loan.
