Overview

  • The club’s decision was made official on Friday, June 26, 2026, when Neto’s contract termination was published in the CBF’s Boletim Informativo Diário (BID).
  • Neto joined Botafogo in mid-2025 from Bournemouth on a deal through June 2027 but played just 22 games for the club before the rescission.
  • His tenure featured repeated on-field mistakes and a red card on May 30 for insulting referee Davi de Oliveira Lacerda, incidents the club reviewed when considering an exit.
  • Neto lost his place under coach Martín Anselmi and later returned to the starting lineup under Franclim Carvalho, but the club and player negotiated a termination over recent weeks.
  • With Neto now a free agent, Botafogo retains Raul, Léo Linck and Cristhian Loor as internal options and has signaled it may seek a new goalkeeper while needing to address reported active FIFA transfer restrictions first.
