Mirassol’s feeder club? São Paulo eye up striker in transfer market? | OneFootball

As São Paulo tries to shield itself from Flamengo's pursuit of Marcos Antônio, it has started inquiries to do exactly the same with Mirassol. Yes, the club from the interior from which it secured two signings for 2026: midfielder Danielzinho and right-back Lucas Ramon.

According to information initially released by ‘ESPN‘ and confirmed to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR by sources from São Paulo's top management, the Morumbi club has been inquiring about the situation of forward Alesson in recent days.

The 26-year-old player, with five assists and six goals in 26 matches for Mirassol, is on loan from Torpedo Moscow, Russia, to the interior club until the end of June, with a definitive purchase clause of US$ 700,000 (about R$ 4 million).

The situation is exactly the same as Marcos Antônio's: the contract allows room for other interested parties to appear. However, at the same time, they need to sit down with Mirassol to settle the payment of the termination fee.

São Paulo has taken an interest in Alesson not only because of his good numbers in the last Brazilian Championship but also due to his versatility. The player can perform on both sides of the field, as a winger and also in a more withdrawn role, playmaking. In other words, he could fulfill the wing-back roles in Hernán Crespo's 3-5-2 formation.

Not familiar with Alesson? That's okay, it's forgivable, as he is yet another player with a modest career who gained relative prominence with Mirassol's historic campaign. He went through Cruzeiro's youth system but can be considered to have been revealed by Paraná. Later, he played for Bahia, Vila Nova, Cuiabá, and Goiás.

Internally, São Paulo's interest is handled with some caution. They avoid speaking openly about the player, so as not to create friction with Mirassol itself, which promises to exercise the definitive purchase of the forward during this month.
