Goalless in 2025, Dinenno aims to break his duck for São Paulo | OneFootball

Juan Dinenno is still searching for his first goal in 2025. After playing five matches for Cruzeiro at the start of the season and another four wearing the São Paulo jersey, the striker has only one assist to his name during this period. The challenge now is to finally find the net for Tricolor, the club that bet on his arrival to strengthen their attack.

The need for a leading role increases given the absences in the offensive sector. With important players out, Crespo will have to reorganize the attack, and Dinenno could benefit from this scenario to gain minutes and confidence.

In addition to the Argentine Rigoni, who returned to the club this transfer window and is expected to be one of the priority options, Dinenno will also face competition from Ferreirinha and Tapia in the battle for a spot in the starting lineup, since Luciano is “untouchable” at the moment.

Scoring at this moment would carry even more weight. São Paulo remains in the race for a top-six finish in the Brazilian Championship, but is focusing much of its attention on the Libertadores, where they are in the quarterfinals against LDU. A striker in good form can make the difference in a knockout tournament, considered the club’s main goal for the season.

The upcoming run of matches promises to be decisive. On Sunday (09/14), at 5:30 p.m. (Brasília time), São Paulo faces Botafogo at Morumbis, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. A few days later, they take on the Ecuadorians in Quito in the first leg for a spot in the Libertadores semifinals.

The Tricolor fans are hoping Dinenno breaks his drought at this key moment. A goal, besides ending his personal dry spell in 2025, would also be his first wearing the São Paulo jersey — a factor that could mark the beginning of a new phase at the club.
