Nahuel Ferraresi Transfer from São Paulo to Botafogo
According to a report from ESPN BR, Botafogo has ended talks with São Paulo for defender Ferraresi. Negotiations between the clubs had intensified at the end of December but became less active in recent days.

Consequently, Ferraresi will remain at Morumbis and is available to coach Hernán Crespo for the season.

The clubs agreed on the financial terms last Wednesday and decided to proceed with the negotiation, which is close to being concluded. An agreement is already in place between the player and the Rio de Janeiro-based team regarding the salary and clauses of the new contract. As indicated in the initial talks, the transfer is likely to involve players from Botafogo's squad, but the names and details have not yet been revealed.

ESPN reports that there is interest from Botafogo in Nahuel Ferraresi. According to ESPN, any move for the Venezuelan is currently superficial and has not reached the stage of an inquiry to the club about possible negotiation terms. Ferraresi is considered one of Hernan Crespo's trusted players and is part of the coach's plans for 2026. However, he is not considered non-transferable if a significant offer comes in for the club and the player.
Botafogo has made an inquiry in recent days for São Paulo's Nahuel Ferraresi, a 27-year-old Venezuelan-Italian defender who has 42 caps for the Venezuelan national team. São Paulo, which is undergoing a squad overhaul, is reportedly open to player exits, provided they are for significant fees or involve a player exchange. Ferraresi, who has been with the club since 2022, has a contract until the end of 2027 and a current market value of €5.00m, according to Transfermarkt. The search for a right-sided defender is a priority for Botafogo, which previously had a proposal for Grêmio's Viery rejected.
