How São Paulo plan to clear four months of overdue wages to squad | OneFootball

São Paulo players have not received their image rights payment for September, which should have been paid by the board last Monday, the 28th. As a result, the club has now reached four months of delayed payments with the squad. The board did not pay the months of June, July, August, and September. At the beginning of the month, CLT wages were also not paid.

The situation is even worse for players who have been part of the squad since 2025. That is because the club also did not pay the September installment related to the agreement signed at the beginning of the year to pay 2025 image rights. A large part of the squad is dealing with four months of overdue image rights payments. However, there are cases of players with up to six months overdue.

São Paulo is awaiting the vote on the Ticketmaster contract, which will take place at the club’s Deliberative Council meeting this Tuesday. The result will only come out on Wednesday. It is with this revenue that the club intends to pay the squad’s wages and image rights.

With the agreement signed, the company will advance R$ 110 million to the club, with R$ 30 million paid upon signing. The rest of the amount will be deposited into São Paulo’s account within 45 days. The contribution will be a loan, which must be repaid within five years.

São Paulo face Santos next Friday

Club officials and players hope the salaries will be paid so that the atmosphere at the club improves. Tricolor Paulista are 11th in the Brasileirão, with 36 points. The team has managed to breathe a little easier in the standings, but it is still keeping a close eye on the relegation battle.

The payment of image rights, combined with a win in the derby against Santos next Friday, in the 29th round of the Brasileirão, could change the mood behind the scenes in the football department.
