Botafogo is considering selling the 26-year-old Brazilian defensive midfielder Newton to strengthen the club's finances, as it is experiencing a financial crisis. The club will only allow his departure for a sale, with the price set at 5 million euros for 100% of the economic rights. At this moment, the Rio de Janeiro club does not want a loan. Newton joined the club in January 2024, has a contract until the end of 2027, and has a current market value of €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Santos and Vitória have previously been linked with the player.
