Botafogo has shown interest in 18-year-old Fluminense midfielder Wallace Davi and has recently contacted the club's board to understand the financial requirements for a potential transfer. Initial discussions involved a proposal for Marlon Freitas to move to Fluminense in addition to a cash payment. However, with Marlon Freitas now having joined Palmeiras, that option is no longer available. Despite this, Botafogo remains interested in Wallace Davi and is considering making an offer. According to sources within Botafogo, they have a high opinion of the player and are still evaluating the figures for a potential negotiation. Without the involvement of Marlon Freitas, Fluminense is expected to make a departure more difficult, as they are counting on the player for the start of the Campeonato Carioca on January 14.
