The player will wear the number 28 shirt and will have to fight for a starting place at Glorioso
Midfielder Allan was presented this Tuesday (2), at the Nilton Santos Stadium. The player is the first signing announced by Botafogo in the second transfer window of 2024. During the press conference, the player revealed that he can’t wait to step onto the field wearing the Alvinegro jersey and make his childhood dream come true:
– Very happy to return to Brazil after 12 years. To be welcomed like this at Botafogo, a great club that I have always supported. Without a doubt, something that makes me very happy. I was able to see Botafogo x Bangu for Carioca at Maracanã when I was 11 or 12 years old. I can’t wait to join Nilton Santos as a Botafogo player – said Allan.
– I get goosebumps. There’s a movie in my head, I watch Botafogo play as a child with the Maracanã full, I can’t wait to be on the pitch and feel it as a player. When I’m on the pitch and I see the stadium full it will be an incredible thing, something I’ve dreamed of since I was a child. I hope it’s a successful transition, that it leaves a good legacy and a good image – he added.
Another point highlighted in the press conference concerns the rumors that have emerged on social media in recent days, regarding the possibility that Allan will terminate his contract with Botafogo to sign with Vasco. The midfielder reassured Botafogo fans:
– I have a great friendship with Coutinho (a player who agrees with Vasco), he is my best man at my wedding and I am his. We are neighbors and we are always together every day, I think that is why they have created things that are not true. I am not very active on social media, what matters is what I signed in January with Botafogo, a club that did everything to make it work. Nothing else happened other than our friendship and coexistence – Allan emphasized.
The player, revealed by Vasco, has also represented Udinese, Napoli, Everton and Al-Wahda. This season he has played 19 games and provided three assists. The player has been called up 10 times for the Brazilian national team and was champion of the Copa América in 2019.
In addition to Allan, Botafogo also announced Igor Jesus. Thiago Almada will be the next confirmed.
