Former Argentina international midfielder Walter Montillo is set to join Rio de Janeiro giants Botafogo from Shandong Luneng, according to widespread media reports.

Montillo suggested a deal was imminent on Wednesday when he posted the words "almost there" in Portuguese on his official Twitter account.

The 32-year-old has been offered a two-year contract with a monthly salary of around 120,000 US dollars, Brazil's Uol reported.

Capped six times for Argentina's national team, Montillo joined Shandong Luneng in 2014 from Brazilian Serie A outfit Santos.

He made 34 appearances for the Chinese Super League club in 2016 and scored 13 goals. Endit
