Botafogo renews contract with Alex Telles until 2028

Alex Telles Botafogo contract renewal Copa Libertadores Campeonato Brasileiro

Botafogo has officially renewed the contract of left-back Alex Telles until December 2028. The agreement extends his previous stay by two years, securing one of the team's most prominent leaders.

Since joining in 2024, Telles has become a central figure in the club's recent successes, including winning the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa Libertadores. He has recorded 100 appearances for the club, contributing 13 goals and 14 assists. The club has referred to him as an "idol," a sentiment bolstered by his role as captain and his influence in the dressing room.

The renewal was part of a strategic plan to maintain a winning squad during the club's administrative transition involving GDA, an investment group led by Gabriel de Alba. Telles reportedly chose to finalize the negotiations during the second half of the year to align with these institutional developments.
