How do you rate Ryan Francisco's 2025 season for São Paulo? Vote! | OneFootball

The main player of the Copinha 2025, Ryan Francisco experienced a rapid rise within São Paulo. With ten goals in eight matches, the 19-year-old was promoted to the professional team right after the tournament, but was unable to maintain a run of games after suffering serious injuries. 

In July, Ryan Francisco tore his anterior cruciate ligament and suffered a meniscus injury in his left knee. Since then, he has been sidelined and is expected to return around April or May. 

Another reason Ryan Francisco did not have much playing time was due to then-coach Luis Zubeldía. Under the Argentine, the young player started only twice and did not have a regular presence coming off the bench.

Contract Renewed

Even after the injury, Ryan Francisco is considered one of the club’s top prospects and has renewed his contract with São Paulo until the end of 2029. 

For the professional team, he played 16 matches and scored three goals. A standout in the Copinha title last January, Ryan Francisco scored ten goals and provided one assist in eight matches during the competition.
