Pablo Maia, Ferraresi talks stall, duo to stay at São Paulo | OneFootball

Midfielder Pablo Maia and defender Ferraresi are expected to remain at São Paulo for the 2026 season. Negotiations with Botafogo have cooled down, and the Rio de Janeiro club has given up on the signings, according to ESPN.

The Tricolor considered a player exchange to release the duo, but it did not progress. Names like full-back Vitinho, midfielder Savarino, forward Joaquín Correa, and even midfielder Marlon Freitas — who was eventually negotiated by Botafogo with Palmeiras — were approached without success.

So far, São Paulo has announced only two reinforcements for the year: goalkeeper Coronel and midfielder Danielzinho. In a complicated financial situation, the Tricolor is finding it difficult to facilitate signings.

The team will debut in the 2026 Paulistão next Sunday at 8:30 PM against Mirassol, in the São Paulo countryside.
