Overview
- Botafogo is studying the conditions to sign 39-year-old Hulk after the forward was offered to the club, a move reported by Lance! and confirmed by Globo/Extra.
- The operation is viewed inside Botafogo as difficult to complete due to the salary figures presented.
- Atlético-MG intends to keep Hulk and is not planning to negotiate with Brazilian clubs, according to reports, with a meeting expected to define next steps.
- Hulk remains under contract with Atlético-MG through the end of 2026, enabling a pre-contract with another club from July 2026 if no deal occurs sooner.
- The approach to Botafogo was facilitated by executive Alessandro Brito, while Fluminense is also linked, and coach Martín Anselmi had not initially prioritized another striker after Lucas Villalba’s arrival.
