According to Rudy Galetti, alongside Atletico Mineiro, Botafogo also made an offer for Vitor Carvalho last January. The proposal was a paid loan with an option to buy, but Braga considered it too low and rejected it.

Atlético Mineiro are still monitoring Braga's 28-year-old Brazilian defensive midfielder, Vitor Carvalho, after a deal came close in January. Al Shabab are also interested in the player, with the Saudi club viewing the €3-4 million price tag as an opportunity. It is anticipated that more clubs will become interested if Braga reaches the UEL final. Carvalho joined the Portuguese club in July 2023 and has a contract that runs until the summer of 2028.
