The 2 top clubs that want to sign a Botafogo star

Manchester United and Tottenham have set their sights on John Victor, goalkeeper for Botafogo, to strengthen their squads ahead of the winter transfer market. This 28-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper, known for his imposing 1.96-meter physique and solid performance under the goalposts, could leave the Rio club for a sum between 9 and 10 million euros, an opportunity that both Premier League clubs are seriously considering.

For Manchester United, their coach Rubén Amorim is seeking more depth in the goalkeeping position. Although André Onana is the undisputed starter, the current alternatives, like Altay Bayındır, have not convinced. In this context, John Victor could arrive as a reliable option, capable of competing for minutes and providing security in key situations. Furthermore, his transfer would be more affordable compared to other names linked to the club, such as Alex Meret or Mike Maignan, whose signings would involve much higher costs.

The Premier League is eager to sign John Victor

Meanwhile, Tottenham faces a more immediate urgency. Guglielmo Vicario's injury has left Ange Postecoglou with few viable alternatives, and Fraser Forster does not seem to be the long-term solution. John Victor would fit perfectly into the plans of the London club, not only as a temporary replacement but also as a future project in the goalkeeping position. His signing would be a strategic investment to strengthen a key position without the need for exorbitant spending.

Both teams are keen to start negotiations before January, aware that the competition could intensify. In the meantime, Botafogo could seize this opportunity to maximize the benefits of an operation that could mark a new chapter in John Victor's career in Europe.
