Botafogo-PB has begun restructuring its squad with an eye on the 2026 season. Out of the final phase of this year's Série C, the club announced a list of departures, and among the names is striker Henrique Dourado , formerly of Flamengo.
In an official statement last Monday (08), the club confirmed the departure of 13 players . In addition, it reported that midfielders Igor Maduro and Thallyson were loaned to Volta Redonda until the end of this season.
The striker played in two matches against Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil, in the third stage of the competition. The Rubro-Negro won both duels: 1-0 in the first leg and 4-2 in the return, scoring Belo's second goal , securing a spot in the quarterfinals.
Henrique Dourado arrived at Flamengo in 2018, after being the top scorer in the 2017 Brasileirão with Fluminense . His initial contract ran until 2021, but in 2019 he was sold to Henan Jianye, from China, in a deal worth approximately R$22 million.
While Dourado is free on the market, Flamengo remains firm in the season. The next commitment will be on Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão . The match will be at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul, at 4 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Amazon Prime.
With the transfer window closed, the board places the contract extension of Filipe Luís and an important midfielder as the main agenda

Filipe Luís's situation has been under internal discussion since the Club World Cup. The experienced full-back's renewal is considered crucial, but the board is awaiting a statement from the coach and a definitive answer regarding the contract extension. Despite the player's importance, there is no rush in the process, with a decision expected in the coming weeks.
In Arrascaeta 's case, negotiations progressed after a start to the season marked by disagreements between the Uruguayan and executive director José Boto. The board worked to reestablish a good relationship with the player's agents , which should speed up negotiations. The midfielder's retention is considered a top priority by the club to maintain the team's core.
Unlike the priority duo, the cases of Rossi and Pedro will only be discussed next season. Both have contracts until the end of 2027, which gives Flamengo the flexibility to postpone negotiations . Pedro arrived on loan from Fiorentina in 2020 and was signed permanently at the end of the same year. The striker also had disagreements with José Boto, but the issues were resolved internally.
With the close of the second transfer window, Flamengo finalized the arrival of four reinforcements : right-back Emerson Royal, midfielders Saúl and Carascal, and forward Samuel Lino . Although it monitored other positions, such as goalkeeper, center-back, and center-forward, the board opted not to advance in negotiations.
The most significant move was the search for a replacement for Matheus Cunha, who has a pre-agreement to play for Cruzeiro from 2026 onwards . The need now will be to find a new backup for Rossi until the end of the season.
