Botafogo advances Montoro extension and secures Ferraresi

Botafogo is advancing negotiations to extend the contract of 19-year-old player Montoro. While his current deal runs until the end of 2029, the club is working to extend the bond until 2030, with a potential clause to reach 2031. The move aims to reflect Montoro's growing importance to the squad and protect the club's asset against market interest, including noted interest from Manchester City.

In a separate roster development, Venezuelan defender Ferraresi has officially signed a permanent contract with Botafogo through 2029. Previously on loan, Ferraresi expressed satisfaction with the permanent deal, noting the club's persistence in securing his services and the positive reception he has received from teammates and staff.
