Atlético-MG has shown interest in the 29-year-old Brazilian winger Artur, who is a reserve at Botafogo. São Paulo is in ongoing negotiations with Botafogo to sign the player on a loan deal, according to information reported by ESPN. The arrangement being discussed includes an option to buy at the conclusion of the contract. Artur, who joined Botafogo in January 2025, has a contract until the end of 2029 and is valued by Transfermarkt at €7.00m. In the current 2025/2026 Série A season, he has made 4 appearances and scored 1 goal. He moved to Botafogo from Zenit for a reported €10 million in January 2025, a year after joining the Russian club from Palmeiras for €15 million. In January 2026, Olympique de Marseille reportedly made an €8 million proposal which Botafogo deemed unsatisfactory.
