Another boost! São Paulo sign left-back Iago, cleared in BID | OneFootball

São Paulo announced this Thursday (6) the signing of another reinforcement for the remainder of the season: 29-year-old left-back Iago, who arrives on loan from Bahia until December 31, 2026.

Earlier, Tricolor had already finally made official the arrival of Portuguese center-back Domingos Duarte as a new addition to Dorival Júnior’s squad.

“I’m very happy and motivated to wear the São Paulo shirt. Commitment will never be lacking. I’m going to work very hard to make the most of this opportunity. I came here to contribute alongside my new teammates in pursuit of the club’s goals,” said Iago.

A product of Internacional’s academy, the full-back has been called up to Brazil’s youth national teams and spent five seasons in German football with FC Augsburg, the club he played for before joining Bahia. Late in the afternoon, Iago was already listed in the CBF’s BID and is cleared to play for Tricolor.

With the Porto Alegre club, the left-back won the Super Copa Gaúcha (2016) and earned call-ups to Brazil’s youth national teams, winning the Toulon International Tournament (2019).
