John Turns Down West Ham’s Proposal and Decides to Stay at Botafogo

John will stay at Botafogo. The goalkeeper turned down the proposal from West Ham in England and decided to keep playing for Botafogo. The decision came from the goalkeeper, who chose to continue his journey at Botafogo and win more titles. The dream of wearing the Brazilian national team’s jersey also weighed in his decision to stay, as there was a certain fear of moving away from the ‘Seleção’ in English football. John and West Ham had already reached an agreement, but the goalkeeper backtracked on the deal. The Rio de Janeiro club even left the player out of the squad for the match against Bragantino on Wednesday in the Copa do Brasil.
