Botafogo outlines global scouting and transfer strategy

Botafogo’s scouting department, led by Brunno Noce, continues to monitor the global transfer market despite the current window being closed. The club utilizes an extensive scouting team consisting of six specialists covering South America, North America, and Europe to manage talent from the youth categories to the professional squad.

In the most recent transfer period, the club added nine players, including Ziyech, Warleson, and Tiquinho. Simultaneously, the club offloaded several players such as Bastos, Barboza, and Ramos, which resulted in a R$ 6 million reduction in the wage bill. Noce stated that the club’s strategy focuses on both strengthening the first team and seeking financial returns through future player sales to maintain a healthy competitive structure.
