Barra Funda shake-up: Dinenno leaves, agent eyes Patryck move | OneFootball

The promise of having a hefty list of departures in the next transfer window is starting to be fulfilled at São Paulo after the end of the Brazilian Championship.

This Monday (8), as reported by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, two names from the squad have arranged their departures from the Morumbi club.

One is not exactly news. Signed on an emergency basis back in June, forward Juan Dinenno has agreed to a pre-contract with Colombia's Deportivo Cali.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR revealed in October that, already out of the plans, the player had been offered in the market by his agents.

In fact, it would be a return, as the 31-year-old player played for the Colombian club in the 2019 season, when he scored 27 goals in 55 matches, a performance that established him as one of the team's key figures during that period.

Dinenno has not played for Tricolor since the 1-0 defeat to Ceará at Morumbi on September 29. After being benched and not used by coach Hernán Crespo in the next two matches against Fortaleza and Palmeiras, the Argentine ended up needing to undergo arthroscopy on his right knee.

He was cleared by the medical department last week, but the club decided to release him from the last match of the year, the defeat to Vitória on Sunday (7).

On Monday, the Argentine was at the Barra Funda training center clearing out his locker and saying goodbye to the few staff members who were not fired or did not take vacation.

In total, he played only eight matches wearing the Tricolor jersey, with just three as a starter, scoring one goal. The forward's contract with São Paulo runs only until the end of the year. To secure a renewal, he needed to meet productivity clauses.

Dinenno arrived from Cruzeiro, where his stint was hampered by a serious injury. Out of the plans of the Minas Gerais team, he ended up agreeing to a termination to join São Paulo.

Curiously, Tricolor actually wanted another forward from the blue team: Lautaro Díaz, who ended up going to rivals Santos. Like Dinenno, he was also sidelined at Cruzeiro. However, the name of the São Paulo tormentor in the 2022 Copa Sudamericana final was vetoed by then-coach Luis Zubeldía, who preferred the option that was eventually signed.

Without Zubeldía, who left shortly after his arrival, Dinenno lost whatever standing he had and became a reserve under Hernán Crespo, even with São Paulo suffering from the absence of all its other three center-forwards (Calleri, André Silva, and Ryan Francisco), all in Reffis with knee surgeries.

THE DEPARTURE LIST WILL GROW

Another player close to leaving São Paulo is left-back Patryck. Since 2022 in the club's professional squad, the 22-year-old player is aware that he has permanently lost the already limited space in the squad and decided to seek new opportunities.

With a contract until the end of April 2027, Tricolor's idea is to negotiate him definitively. But a loan would also be beneficial. As the report found, his staff has been holding meetings for about 15 days and promised to deliver a proposal this week.

In the middle of the year, Pafos, a club from Cyprus that competes in the Champions League, agreed to loan the young player with an option for a fixed purchase. But the closing of the window made progress difficult. The team maintained interest in the left-back and could be one of the interested parties to present a proposal by the end of the year.

Patryck played a total of ten matches this year, five of them as a starter. With the arrivals of Enzo Díaz and Wendell, he became the third option for the position. He got a chance with Crespo in the defeat to Corinthians in Itaquera for the Brazilian Championship on November 20, but was substituted at halftime and completely lost favor with the coach and fans. Since then, he has only been on the bench, watching players like Ferreirinha and Lucca play improvised in his position.
