Dória, a Brazilian-Mexican defender who plays for Atlas in Mexico, stated in an interview that a return to Brazil is a future possibility and spoke positively about Botafogo. The 31-year-old was developed at the club and made his debut in 2012 before being transferred to Olympique de Marselha in France two years later. Dória said that he considers his history with the club to be beautiful and would like to complete 100 games, as he needs seven more appearances to reach that number. While it is reported that the Rio de Janeiro club is seeking a right-footed defender, the player's name has not yet been formally discussed by the management of John Textor's SAF. The defender, who has one cap for Brazil, joined Atlas in July 2024 and his contract is set to expire in June 2027. In the 2025/2026 Liga MX Apertura season, he has made 13 appearances and scored one goal. His market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
