On Tuesday we covered claims from Brazil which stated Burnley’s Vitinho wasn’t interested at all in a return to the country.
Botafogo had been working to sign the player but continued hitting obstacles, with the major one being he just wasn’t interested in moving to back to Brazil at the age of 25.
Whilst a Burnley exit very much wasn’t ruled out, Vitinho and his entourage were looking to remain within European football.
Well, life comes at you fast in the final days of the transfer window, and it’s now being claimed that the player’s stance has changed.
UOL, one of Brazil’s biggest sport outlets, reports Botafogo have returned and made a €7m offer for the Burnley player. The clubs are said to be close to an agreement for the player’s transfer, and instead of being set against it all, Vitinho is now presented as being in favour of the move.
Perhaps John Textor, who owns Botafogo and Lyon among others, and is trying to take charge at Everton, has tempted him with a potential quick return to Europe.
