Botafogo is evaluating a proposal from Rodina of Russia for the permanent transfer of the 26-year-old Brazilian winger, Jeffinho, who spent 2026 on loan at Liaoning Tieren in China. The Russian club has offered 1.8 million euros for the attacker, who is currently on vacation in Brazil. His loan deal, which runs until December, does not have a purchase obligation, but it does give the Chinese club priority should they wish to buy him. While other European clubs have made inquiries, Rodina's is the only official proposal received so far. It is reported that Botafogo's coaching staff likes the player. The staff will focus on planning for the next season after the conclusion of the Brasileirão. For the 2025/2026 season in the Super League, Jeffinho made 28 appearances, scored 12 goals, and provided 2 assists. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.00M.
