Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas is very close to strengthening the goalkeeper position with the signing of Warleson, 29. The goalkeeper is already in Rio de Janeiro to undergo medical tests and finalize his arrival at Glorioso.

Who is Warleson?

Warleson belongs to Cercle Brugge, from Belgium, and was revealed by Athletico-PR. With the experience gained in European football, the goalkeeper is seen internally as an athlete capable of immediately disputing the position and offering more security to the defensive system.

Why is Warleson's signing important?

Warleson's signing meets a need created recently in the squad after Neto's departure, who terminated his contract with the club. With this, the management intensified the search for a new goalkeeper who could increase the options for the technical commission for the rest of the season.

What comes next?

Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas remains active in the market, even facing restrictions due to transfer bans. In addition to Warleson, the club maintains negotiations for reinforcements in other positions, such as defender, midfielder, and players from the offensive sector. With 63 points and a goal difference of +20, the team seeks to improve its defense and maintain sixth place in the Serie A table, 16 points behind leader Flamengo, with a recent form of WDDWW.
