According to ESPN, Olympique de Marseille made an official proposal for Botafogo forward Artur. Sources state that the decision to proceed with the deal will be made by Botafogo's new coach, Martín Anselmi. People consulted for the report stated that the terms offered by the European club were not satisfactory to the Carioca team. It is understood that the negotiation is unlikely to progress under the proposed terms. It is expected that Artur will remain at General Severiano for another season.

The French club Olympique de Marseille made a proposal of 8 million euros for Artur, a 27-year-old Brazilian winger from Botafogo. Negotiations are in progress between the clubs and the player's representatives. The proposal is for a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the contract, dependent on sporting goals achieved by Artur at Olympique de Marseille. If all parties reach an agreement, the transaction is likely to become a permanent acquisition. Coach Martín Anselmi has indicated an interest in keeping the forward. Artur joined Botafogo in January 2025, and his contract is valid until December 2029. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €7.00m, and he has not yet played for the Brazil national team.
