Botafogo to release Matías Segovia as free agent

Botafogo has decided not to renew the contract of Paraguayan attacking midfielder Matías Segovia, commonly known as Segovinha. The club has officially notified both the player and his representative that he is not part of the plans for the upcoming season.

Segovia, who joined Botafogo in 2023 from Guaraní, has spent much of his recent tenure on loan. Following stints in Belgium with RWD Molenbeek and in the United Arab Emirates with Al Ain, he most recently played for América Mineiro. Despite América Mineiro’s relegation to Serie C, Segovia recorded a strong individual performance, contributing seven goals and three assists in 38 matches.

With his current contract set to expire in December, the player will become a free agent and is free to negotiate with new clubs for the 2027 season.
