The Japanese, who arrived with a match at the beginning of 2020, has already communicated his decision to the Alvinegro board
Keisuke Honda arrived in Botafogo in the arms of the fan, but apparently his farewell is usually at least melancholic. According to information released by GE, the Japanese informed the leaders of the Alvinegros of his willingness to leave the club before the end of his contract, valid until the end of the Brasileirão, in January 2021.

But from the beautiful reception that the fans had until now, what happened to Honda asking to leave Botafogo? There are several elements in this story, which began as a love story and ends almost in a climate of indifference.
Thigh injury
The last time Honda was on the field was in the 2-1 victory over Coritiba, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Japanese was substituted in the second half and, later, a muscle injury was detected in the left thigh. The return period for the Japanese indicated the last games of the Brasileirão. This is an item.
Dissatisfaction within the club
Amazing.

However, the main reason that encouraged Honda to make the decision to request the rescission of its bail is the situation in Botafogo. If in the field the club has one of the worst seasons in its history and it is in the details of having another confirmed relegation, outside of the four lines it is possible to understand how the situation got so dramatic.
In addition to the structure well below the rest of the Serie A teams, the Botafoguense directive collected errors throughout the season. The constant change of coaches (there were five in 2020) publicly angered the Japanese: when Botafogo announced the resignation of Argentine Ramón Díaz, who had not even made his debut, the flyer went to his social networks to protest and even right there already he had left open the possibility of rethinking his future.
Europe offer
In addition to these questions, there is still speculation about Honda in European football. According to information from the Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Portimorense would be the main interested in the Japanese.
In 27 games for Botafogo, considering all competitions, Honda scored three goals and did not assist. The Japanese closes 2020 as one of several disappointments among the signings made by Brazilian clubs.
