Botafogo have not given up on signing Hakim Ziyech and remain confident of completing the deal in the final stages of the transfer window. See the current status of the club’s pursuit and what is at stake.
Botafogo continue to target Ziyech
Hakim Ziyech remains on Botafogo’s radar. The negotiations are among the club’s ongoing moves in the final stages of the transfer window, and the board is still working to complete the player’s signing. The main answer for anyone asking whether Botafogo will sign Ziyech is this: the club have not abandoned the deal. The agreement has not yet been completed, but the attempt remains active. Internally, there is confidence that the deal can progress before the registration deadline.
Negotiations enter the final stage of the window
With the transfer window closing soon, time has become a key factor in Botafogo’s pursuit of Ziyech. The club must turn the board’s confidence into a final agreement within the permitted deadline for registering new players. The final stage increases the pressure on every part of the negotiations. Even so, the club continue to regard the attacking midfielder as a realistic possibility. The continued interest shows that the board believes a deal can be reached, despite the lack of official confirmation of the transfer.
The club have not given up on the player
The main feature of the transfer timeline is the continuation of talks and Botafogo’s interest. Even with the end of the window approaching, the club’s position has not changed: Ziyech remains a target and the signing is still considered possible. This also explains why the deal cannot be considered over. Without an official announcement, negotiations remain ongoing. At the same time, the lack of confirmation means it is not possible to say that the player is already a Botafogo signing. The situation remains one of expectation, with the club trying to complete the talks.
Will Botafogo sign Ziyech?
The signing has not yet been confirmed. Botafogo, however, remain confident of reaching an agreement and have not given up on Hakim Ziyech. The definitive answer depends on completing the negotiations before the end of the window. If the agreement is reached, Ziyech will be announced as the club’s new player once the necessary formalities have been completed. Until then, negotiations remain open, with Botafogo working towards a positive outcome in the final stages of the deadline.
