With the end of the season, the transfer market is starting to heat up. São Paulo, which is already moving to strengthen its squad with Danielzinho from Mirassol, may face two departures. Defender Ferraresi and midfielder Pablo Maia are being monitored by Botafogo, which has already made a formal offer for both players.

The Tricolor Paulista is evaluating the proposals and the clubs are expected to meet next Wednesday (17) to take the next steps. The information was reported by ESPN.

After a below-par season, but one that could still end with a spot in the Pre-Libertadores, São Paulo is studying possible business options. The Tricolor could receive money and could also make Ferraresi and Pablo Maia available for a swap deal.

Players’ Stats

This season, Ferraresi took the field 46 times and, despite maintaining a good average of tackles, with 121 – 2.6 per game – he was not a unanimous choice in São Paulo’s starting lineup. Competing for a spot with Arboleda and Alan Franco, the Venezuelan defender was inconsistent during the season and was even benched at times. His contract is valid until the end of 2027.

In the past, Pablo Maia was one of São Paulo’s key players. The midfielder was crucial in winning the 2023 Copa do Brasil, but underperformed this season. In 42 matches played, the midfielder scored only two goals and provided one assist. His contract runs until December 2029 and, in addition to Botafogo’s interest, he is also being watched by European clubs.
