Cauly praises São Paulo’s history, says playing at Morumbis will be special | OneFootball

New São Paulo signing, midfielder Cauly spoke his first words as a player for the club. This Monday, the athlete praised the history of Tricolor and revealed his expectations for playing at Morumbis.

“I think there's no player who doesn't see São Paulo in a good light. You can't think of Brazilian football without thinking of São Paulo,” said the midfielder in an interview with SPFCTV.

São Paulo signed Cauly on loan, but with a purchase option that could become mandatory if targets are met. If the player takes the field 25 times, Tricolor will have to pay 2 million euros (about R$ 12.3 million at the current exchange rate) for the acquisition of 50% of the athlete's rights.

“I think from the beginning I really wanted to be here too, I communicated with Bahia early on and then it took a while for the clubs to come to an agreement. But I had a great desire, a great motivation to come here,” he continued.

The Morumbis club had previously tried to bring Cauly in this transfer window. At the time, however, Bahia made it clear that they would only accept a permanent deal. Later, Tricolor de Aço softened their stance and agreed to the loan.

Special Feeling

Cauly also commented on his expectations for playing at Morumbis. Although he has already entered the stadium as an opponent, the midfielder stated that it will be a “special feeling” to play in front of the São Paulo fans.

“I think it will be a special feeling (to play at Morumbis). I already felt (the fans' affection) a little at the airport. In the first game, I felt it up close, I already felt it playing against São Paulo. For me, the stadium (Morumbis) is one of the best in Brazil to play in, so I think it will be a special moment,” he concluded.

The midfielder is not yet registered in the BID (Daily Information Bulletin) and therefore cannot yet debut for São Paulo. Now, the Tricolor management is rushing to register the athlete for the final stretch of the Paulistão and the continuation of the Brazilian Championship.
