Botafogo made an offer for Nathan Silva, a 28-year-old Brazilian Centre-Back who plays for Pumas-MEX and began his career at Atlético-MG. The proposal was for 1.8 million dollars (almost R$ 10 million). Nathan Silva has a contract until June 2027. The negotiation is difficult. The transfer window in Mexican football is closed and Pumas would not have the opportunity to seek a replacement. Nathan Silva was previously approached by Vasco and Bahia, but the clubs did not reach an agreement. The Botafogo board has wanted to sign him for a long time. Silva, who joined Pumas in July 2023, has 2 caps for the Brazil U20 national team. In the current 2025/2026 season, he has made 17 appearances in Liga MX Apertura, 7 appearances in Liga MX Clausura, and 1 appearance in Liguilla Apertura. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.80m.
