Part 2/7:

Jeff Texter, who made a substantial financial commitment to Botafogo, is set to recoup nearly the entirety of his initial investment within just two years. This has raised questions about the long-term viability and sustainable growth of clubs under similar ownership models. The case of Portuguesa, which was also sold off, shows a recent trend in transforming massive debts into manageable figures through strategic negotiations with creditors.
