Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas is in negotiations to renew the contract of Alex Telles, one of the club's main players. The left-back is one of the highest-paid players in the squad and a reduction would be necessary to renew. And the atmosphere, at the moment, is one of confidence for an agreement. Journalist Bernardo Gentile, from the 'Arena Alvinegra' channel, stated that Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas was more pessimistic about Alex Telles, but today there is a chance of renewal. So the club should adopt a more austere policy after the debt of the company that controls football has grown abruptly under the management of John Textor. In addition to Alex Telles, other players like Bastos, Marçal, Allan and Edenílson also have contracts until December. Caio Roque, Ferraresi and Júnior Santos are loaned to Portuguesa, São Paulo and Atlético-MG, respectively, until the end of the year. Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas's manager, GDA Luma, must work to reduce the club's expenses. But the renewal of Alex Telles' contract is an important step for the club. The player is fundamental to the team and his permanence is essential for the club's success. With the contract renewal, Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas can focus on other areas, such as hiring new players.
