Vincent Aboubakar, the prolific striker of the Cameroon national team, with an illustrious record of 98 caps and 37 goals, is reportedly considering a move to the South American continent as he contemplates an offer from Brazilian club Botafogo.
Aboubakar, who found himself blacklisted by Besiktas in Turkey in mid-December, made a comeback to the field on February 19 during the 26th day of the Süper Lig.
Despite returning from an injury sustained at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, the 32-year-old striker has seen limited playing time, raising questions about his future with the Turkish club.
Speculations about Aboubakar’s potential departure intensified after reports emerged of an offer from Botafogo, a club in Brazil’s top-tier football league.
The Brazilian media outlet Espaço Glorioso has disclosed that Aboubakar is contemplating the proposal, and there is a growing inclination towards a departure from Besiktas.
With his contract set to conclude next year, Aboubakar faces a crucial decision that could see him join his seventh club, following stints with Coton Sport de Garoua, Valenciennes, Lorient, FC Porto, Al-Nassr, and Besiktas.
If the transfer is finalized, it would mark the Cameroonian striker’s debut in South America, completing a football journey that has spanned Europe and Asia over the past decade.
Having showcased his scoring prowess with 11 goals and 3 assists this season, Aboubakar’s potential move to Botafogo adds a new chapter to his football odyssey, presenting the seasoned striker with an opportunity to make his mark in a fresh and vibrant football landscape.
The football community eagerly awaits Aboubakar’s decision, which could redefine the trajectory of his illustrious career.
