Filipe Luís and José Boto, Flamengo’s coach and football director, respectively, were present in Barcelos to watch Gil Vicente-Sporting, which ended in a draw. According to ESPN Brasil, the presence of those responsible for Mengão, who were with former Portuguese international Tiago, in Barcelos was due to Andrew. The 24-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper left Brazil to join Gil Vicente in 2021.

Globoesporte, which even dismisses Flamengo’s interest in Andrew, says that Botafogo is the main interested party, and is negotiating a pre-contract for to tie the Gilistas player, who, less than six months before the end of his contract, can now negotiate with another club.

Botafogo, now led by Martín Anselmi, former FC Porto coach, suffered a transfer ban at FIFA for the purchase of Thiago Almada in 2024 and is prohibited from registering players in the next three transfer windows. The stove is trying to resolve the issue.
