As month turns, Victor Sá will finally be unveiled by São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo will finally be free as of this July to make official and announce the signing of 32-year-old forward Victor Sá. The player has already undergone medical examinations at the club and agreed to the contract terms with the Tricolor board.

However, the new signing, who has been in Brazil since the end of May after the European season ended, was still under contract with Russia’s Krasnodar until June 30. Although the player’s representatives and São Paulo’s top brass sought an early release, the Russian club resisted because the forward refused to renew his contract.

As AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR previously revealed, Sá has been training since Wednesday (17) at the Barra Funda training center, where he underwent his first on-site medical exams with São Paulo’s medical department.

With all of Victor Sá’s presentation materials already prepared, São Paulo was just waiting for the turn of the month so that his contract with the Russians could expire before making the announcement, which should happen between this Wednesday (7/1) and Thursday (2).

Long-term deal and salary progression meet coaching staff’s request

The agreement with Victor Sá runs through December 2029, solidifying one of coach Dorival Júnior’s main priorities to strengthen the attacking sector. The financial plan for the transfer provides for monthly wages of R$700,000 through the end of 2026, with a scheduled increase to R$1 million per month starting in January 2027.

The signing is intended to give the squad greater depth for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Sudamericana. If the paperwork clearance comes before the official opening of the transfer window on July 20, Victor Sá will be the seventh signing announced by São Paulo this season, and the first in this second half of the year.

Professional background and international experience

A product of Palmeiras’ youth academy, Victor Sá has built a solid career in international football. In Europe, the forward played for Austria’s LASK and Germany’s Wolfsburg. He also had a spell at Al Jazira of the United Arab Emirates before moving to Krasnodar.

On the domestic stage, the player recently stood out while wearing Botafogo’s shirt between 2022 and 2024, a period in which he made 94 official appearances and scored 10 goals for the Rio de Janeiro club.
