Botafogo has secured a loan deal for 19-year-old forward Kayke to Fortaleza, following a request by coach Renato Paiva, who previously worked with the player at Botafogo earlier this season. Having been promoted to the professional team in 2025, Kayke demonstrated his potential by netting three goals across 11 matches. The transfer is perceived as beneficial for Botafogo, offering Kayke the chance to compete at a higher level until season's end and to gain further experience. This arrangement was made possible by the addition of Spanish player Chris Ramos, who, together with Arthur Cabral and Mastriani, strengthens the team's options in the forward line. Kayke, who emerged from Botafogo's youth academy, has already moved to join Fortaleza. The transfer aims to provide him with crucial playing time and enhance his market value, as he has been active in both the senior and under-20 squads this year.
