Botafogo squad overhaul 2026
Entities: Cienciano · Botafogo · Joaquín Correa · Franclim Carvalho · Estudiantes
Overview
In mid‑July 2026 Botafogo announced a major recruitment drive, signing left‑back Paulinho from FC Midtjylland and adding three goalkeepers – Gabriel Batista, Warleson (from Cercle Brugge) and a second keeper – as well as defender Lucas Monzón from Junior de Barranquilla. The club also arranged a season‑long loan for striker Chris Ramos to Real Oviedo.
A week later the club faced a roster‑registration issue for its Copa Sudamericana round‑of‑16 tie. With only five player slots allowed, coach Franclim Carvalho had to decide which of the recent signings – Warleson, Gabriel Batista, Lucas Monzón, Paulinho, Domingos Andrade and Danilo Pereira – would be omitted, while the two goalkeepers were expected to stay registered. Discussions also surfaced about Argentine forward Joaquín Correa, who was not in the coach’s plans but attracted interest from Estudiantes.
These developments illustrate Botafogo’s rapid squad expansion and the subsequent need to trim the roster for continental competition.
