Defender Riquelme Felipe is considered promising by the Juventus management and could join Glorioso next season
Botafogo is trying to sign defender Riquelme Felipe from Sport, just 18 years old. The player, born from the base of the Pernambuco team, is among those on the list for Leão’s last matches in the Brazilian championship.
The operation should be completed shortly and is at an advanced stage. The negotiation involves the reduction of a debt that Sport has towards Alvinegro for the signing of striker Carlos Alberto. The north-eastern club delayed some installments for the player, which cost R$15 million. In fact, his performance was not satisfactory and he ended up on loan at Cuiabá, who play in the second division of the Brazilian championship.
There is optimism on the part of Botafogo for a positive outcome, according to the “Jornal do Commercio”. If the negotiation has a happy ending, Alvinegros will evaluate whether to join the Under 20s or join the professional team directly.
Despite not having played at a professional level yet, Riquelme was among Sport’s teammates in seven matches in this Brasileirão.
