Newton

In March 2026, reports suggested a deal was being finalized for Santos to acquire 70% of the player's rights from Botafogo for a fee between €3 million and €3.5 million. Concurrently, it was reported that Santos had proposed a valuation of €3 million as part of a debt-cancellation deal, which Botafogo rejected as insufficient. In December 2025, the player's market value was listed at €3 million by Transfermarkt. The player's transfer from Jacuipense to Botafogo in January 2024 was for a reported fee of €190,000.

Our valuation is driven by the very recent March 2026 negotiations between Botafogo and Santos for Newton. The strongest signal is the report of a near-completed deal for 70% of the player's rights for €3-€3.5 million, which implies a 100% valuation between €4.3 million and €5 million. This is further supported by reports that Botafogo rejected an initial €3 million valuation from Santos, indicating their asking price is significantly higher than the player's recent Transfermarkt value.
