A departure for Arthur Chaves from TSG Hoffenheim is considered likely in the near future. A return to his native Brazil is now a possibility, with Botafogo FR, FC São Paulo, and Vasco da Gama all named as interested clubs. The parties involved have until September 11th to finalize any potential deal, as the transfer window in Brazil remains open until then. Chaves had previously moved to Hoffenheim from the Portuguese club Académico Viseu for a fee of six million euros and spent the latter half of the last season on loan at FC Augsburg.
