São Paulo FC may gain a new alternative to strengthen their defensive system in the transfer window. Botafogo's defender Bastos is going through a moment of uncertainty at the Rio de Janeiro club and is being watched by the Tricolor.

What happened?

Bastos did not return to Botafogo after the holiday period and the club's management is studying what measures to take regarding the player.

Why does this matter for São Paulo FC?

The situation caught the attention of São Paulo FC, which has a good relationship with Botafogo and has recently negotiated with the Rio de Janeiro club for players like Arthur, Ferraresi, and Newton.

What comes next?

If Bastos really leaves General Severiano, the Tricolor may consider making a move to strengthen a sector considered a priority by Dorival Jr.'s technical staff.
