Botafogo have concluded the sale of midfielder Maicosuel to Germany’s Hoffenheim for a reported fee of $7.5 million.
The 22-year-old Maicosuel signed a five-year contract with Hoffenheim, where he will join countrymen Carlos Eduardo, Fabricio, Luiz Gustavo and Wellington.
“This is the happiest moment of my career,” Maicosuel said on Friday on his last day at Botafogo. “Every player dreams of playing in Europe.”
