São Paulo sign midfielder Danielzinho, formerly of Mirassol | OneFootball

São Paulo announced this Friday the signing of midfielder Danielzinho, a standout in Mirassol's historic campaign in this year's Brazilian Championship. The 31-year-old player signed a contract valid until December 31, 2027, with an automatic renewal clause until December 31, 2028, if he meets the goals set by the club.

“It's the realization of a dream, a really good feeling. Having the opportunity to wear a shirt of this magnitude is a privilege. I am very happy because it's something that was once dreamed of. I am here to achieve the club's objectives and meet the fans' expectations. I will fight and work for São Paulo to achieve great things,” said São Paulo's first reinforcement for 2026.

Since his contract with Leão Caipira would end at the end of 2025, Danielzinho joined Tricolor Paulista without any costs, with the club taking possession of 80% of the player's economic rights, while he retains the remaining 20%.

The midfielder has already undergone medical examinations and will join the squad led by coach Hernán Crespo at the beginning of January, when the pre-season will start.

Standout at Mirassol

A key player in Mirassol's campaign, which secured a direct spot in the 2026 Libertadores, Danielzinho played in 37 of the 38 rounds of the Brasileirão, always as a starter, and was the second outfield player with the most matches in this year's competition, in addition to being the fourth athlete with the most playing time: 3,655 minutes throughout the championship.
