The exceptional transfer window closed last Friday. As a result, Santos finalized its squad for the rest of the season. The Alvinegro Praiano had a very busy transfer market, signing six reinforcements and formalizing the departure of 13 players.

Once again under the command of Alexandre Mattos, Santos’ football executive since June 2025, the team’s focus was on a “clear-out.”

Santos received a good amount from the departure of left-back Souza, who moved to Tottenham for R$ 94.4 million. Two other players also left the Alvinegro Praiano on permanent deals: forwards Guilherme (Houston Dynamo) and Morelos (Atlético Nacional).

Besides those three, Santos arranged nine loan exits: Sandry (Criciúma), Hayner (Vila Nova), Patryck (Remo), Nathen (Juventude), Caballero (Portsmouth), Bilal Brahimi (Estrela Amadora), Tiquinho Soares (Mirassol), Alexis Duarte (Libertad) and JP Chermont (Coritiba).

In addition to them, center-back João Basso also left the club after a contract termination, which sparked controversy after Neymar said he “deserved more respect.” Last Friday, he was announced by Cuiabá.

On the other hand, Santos announced six targeted arrivals. The first three reinforcements came from the Minas Gerais duo Atlético-MG and Cruzeiro. Galo and Raposa loaned Gabriel Menino and Gabigol, respectively. In addition, forward Rony arrived at CT Rei Pelé on a permanent deal.

Besides those three, Santos announced three more permanent signings: Moisés (Fortaleza), Oliva (Nacional-URU) and Lucas Veríssimo (Al Duhail-QAT).
