The Historic Swap for Alexandre Pato in 2014

Retired from football since the second half of 2022, when he ended his career at Vitória, Jadson had notable spells on the national and international stage.

At São Paulo, he arrived in January 2012, signed from Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine for R$ 8.6 million.

Introduced by club idol Raí, expectations were high for the then No. 10, but he ultimately did not deliver as expected and lost his status as a potential idol to the young Lucas, who had just been promoted from the youth ranks at the time. The following year, the club signed Ganso at Muricy Ramalho’s request, and the player was definitively sidelined. Even so, he won the Copa Sudamericana and was even called up to the Brazilian national team while playing for São Paulo.

Jadson’s path was marked by one of the noisiest episodes in the Brazilian transfer market. On February 6, 2014, São Paulo and Corinthians sealed a swap deal involving Alexandre Pato.

São Paulo terminated Jadson’s contract so that he could sign permanently with Corinthians, while Alexandre Pato moved to Morumbi on a two-year loan.

Corinthians took on Jadson’s full salary and paid half of Pato’s wages at São Paulo. Both boards agreed that neither player would face his former club during the term of the loan contracts.

At the rival club, Jadson found himself and finally became the idol São Paulo fans had expected but who never materialized there.

“I had a good spell at São Paulo, I won the Sudamericana (2012) and was called up for the Confederations Cup (2013). In the 2013 league campaign, the team was not doing very well, fighting near the relegation zone, and there was the change from Ney Franco to Paulo Autuori and then to Muricy Ramalho. In the second half of the year, Muricy started playing Ganso and wasn’t using me. I practically stopped playing; he had his choices. At the start of 2014, I had a good preseason, worked really hard, Muricy saw my commitment and said he was going to play me, but that week my agent told me about the possibility of a swap between Alexandre Pato and me,” the former player recalled in an interview given in 2023.
