Brighton & Hove Albion remains committed to signing Botafogo left-back Cuiabano, despite having three bids rejected by the Brazilian club. The Seagulls are actively seeking a new left-back following Pervis Estupinan’s expressed desire to leave the Amex Stadium this summer.
According to reports, Brighton’s latest offer of approximately £7.7m, including add-ons, was deemed insufficient by Botafogo. However, the south coast side is refusing to abandon their pursuit of the 22-year-old defender, with hopes of reaching an agreement with the Brazilian club ahead of the 2025-26 season.
Cuiabano, who is contracted until December 2027, is currently representing Botafogo at the Club World Cup, where he has made appearances off the bench in the first two group games. The left-back’s potential transfer has also attracted interest from Nottingham Forest, further fueling the competition for his signature.
Brighton’s determination to secure Cuiabano’s services underscores their commitment to bolstering their squad under the management of Fabian Hurzeler. The ongoing negotiations between Brighton and Botafogo will be closely monitored, as both parties work towards a potential agreement.
