Botafogo officially officially has (10 June) the intake of the Argentine striker Joaquin Correa, former Inter player.

This is the fifth hiring announced by the Rio Club focused on international competition. Previously, Botafogo had already confirmed the reinforcements of the goalkeeper Cristhian Loor, the defender Kaio Pantaleão, the midfielder Montoro and also the striker Arthur Cabral. Therefore, the Council tries to increase the competitiveness of the cast led by Renato Paiva.

In fact, the transfer of Correa involved a negotiation that needed bureaucratic adjustments before the official release. The Italian leaders, who will also participate in the club World Championships, had not immediately released the athlete. However, all suspended problems were solved on Monday (June 9), which allowed the announcement by the Brazilian club.

Currently, Botafogo is preparing for the Westmont College in Santa Barbara in a training center of 450,000 square meters. The place is just 15 minutes from the hotel where the delegation is hosted, which favors the logistics and formation of the team during the acclimatization phase in the United States.

The Alvinegro debut in the competition is scheduled for Sunday (June 15), at 11:00 pm (Ora di Brasilia), against Seattle Sounders. The clash will be held at the Lumen Field Stadium, located in Seattle, and will mark the first challenge of the club in the current edition of the FIFA tournament.

According to the progress of preparation, coaching staff should have the presence of Correa in training in the next few days. The 30 -ld of 30 years arrives as an important offensive option for the attack system, in particular for his experience in European football.
