Amid a financial crisis, Botafogo is open to negotiating the transfer of 22-year-old Brazilian winger Matheus Martins, who is being targeted by European clubs. Krasnodar, Feyenoord, Coventry, and Celta de Vigo are listed as some of the interested teams. The player and his staff are reportedly agreeable to a transfer. A meeting was held this week to align expectations for the transfer window opening on July 22. Botafogo is willing to sell Martins for 8 million euros. The club had previously signed him from Udinese for 10 million euros in July 2024, and Udinese has since taken Botafogo to FIFA regarding an estimated 6 million euros in unpaid fees from that transfer. His contract with the Brazilian club runs until December 2028. He has 10 caps and 6 goals for Brazil U20. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €6.00m.
