O Atlético-MG recebe R$ 1 milhão se o Botafogo escalar o atacante Júnior Santos no duelo direto desta quarta-feira, dia 4, às 21h30, no Estádio Nilton Santos, pela 34ª rodada do Brasileirão.
O valor está fixado no contrato de empréstimo: o atacante pertence ao time mineiro e joga no carioca até o fim da temporada. Para usá-lo no confronto, a diretoria do Botafogo precisa pagar a quantia integral prevista; sem isso, ele fica indisponível.
A situação já apareceu no primeiro turno. No duelo da Arena MRV, o Botafogo preferiu não relacionar o jogador e evitou o pagamento; a partida terminou 1 a 1.
O Botafogo é o 11º, com 39 pontos, e a presença do atacante entre os titulares depende de uma escolha conjunta do departamento de futebol com a comissão técnica.
