A Bola has reported that Flamengo is interested in signing Gonçalo Borges from FC Porto. Although Botafogo is seen as the leading contender in the pursuit of Borges, Flamengo is also eager to secure the 24-year-old winger. Borges, who is under contract with FC Porto until 2027 and has a release clause of €50 million, is reportedly open to negotiations if he receives an attractive offer. Both Botafogo and Flamengo, the Brazilian clubs, are expected to soon submit formal declarations of interest. However, they face the challenge of persuading Borges, who is inclined to remain in Europe. It is said that Botafogo is prepared to offer €9 million and significantly increase Borges' current salary. Borges, who emerged from FC Porto's youth system, has been with the club for ten years and played 38 games last season, scoring two goals and providing six assists.
