BOTAFOGO are making plans for the possible exit of goalkeeper John Victor to Manchester United by hunting for a new goalkeeper.
has been rocked by a which could see him sidelined for two months.
The boss had decided the Cameroon ace would be his first choice for the forthcoming campaign despite a string of blunders over the past couple of years.
But he now has a problem as second choice is for sale this summer having failed to impress his Old Trafford bosses.
Brazilian Victor is one of the options earmarked by the Red Devils and would be available for around £6million due to a release clause in his contract.
Botafogo know they would be powerless to stop him leaving if someone bids the full amount.
And the Brazilians – who beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup group stages – have registered their interest in Atletico Mineiro’s Matheus Mendes, according to reports in South America.
Meanwhile, United outcastAlejandro Garnacho has knocked back interest from Saudi Arabia as he searches for a new club.
The Argentine winger has been told by Amorim he has no future at Old Trafford and has been told to stay away from first team training at Carrington.
However he has decided a money-spinning move to the Middle East with Al Nassr is not right for him at the age of just 21.
It would have seen him link up with his hero Cristiano Ronaldo who has been such a big influence on his career.
However, Garnacho is keen to remain in the Premier League or move to a top league in Europe – with Napoli among the clubs watching him.
United also remain hopeful of completing a move for Bryan Mbeumo.
It’s been 41 days since the first of their two failed bids went in for the Brentford forward.
But reports claim a third offer could be coming shortly.
