The report claims that Botafogo are already preparing for John Victor’s departure as they have identified Atletico Mineiro goalkeeper Matheus Mendes as his replacement.
John Victor impressed for Botafogo during their Club World Cup campaign this summer and was named ‘Superior Player of the Match’ in their 1-0 defeat to Palmeiras in the round of 16.
The 29-year-old also delivered a standout performance in the 1-0 victory against Paris Saint-Germain, who play Chelsea in Sunday’s final, in Botafogo’s second game in the group stage.
John Victor joined Botafogo in a R$5.8m (£850,000) deal from Santos 18 months ago and helped the Brazilian side win Serie A and the Copa Libertadores last year.
He was named in both the Serie A and Copa Libertadores Team of the Year for 2024.
