Santos have 6️⃣ starters who can’t switch Série A clubs, see list | OneFootball

Nine Santos players have already surpassed the limit of 12 matches in the Brazilian Championship, a rule that prevents them from switching teams during this edition of the tournament.

Of that total, six are starters: Gabriel Brazão (16 matches), Igor Vinícius (13), Luan Peres (15), Gabriel Bontempo (16), Benjamín Rollheiser (14) and Barreal (15), as ge reported on Wednesday (10).

Three other players frequently used by Cuca have also reached the limit: Willian Arão (13), Rony (14) and Moisés (13).

Escobar, Christian Oliva and Gabigol have 12 appearances each and are right at the limit.

The full-back’s contract expires at the end of the year and, starting in July, he will be able to sign a pre-contract with another club.

Gabigol, who belongs to Cruzeiro, is not expected to hit the mark anytime soon because he is serving a suspension after being sent off against Vitória.

Neymar, rested for load management, has played only eight matches in the Brasileirão.

He is with the national team at the World Cup and his contract also expires at the end of the year; his future should become clearer after the tournament.

Close to the limit are João Schmidt (10 matches), Lucas Veríssimo (11) and Thaciano (11).

Players who will probably leave in the squad overhaul are not a concern because they have made few appearances: Mayke (3 matches) and Tomás Rincón (2).

Zé Ivaldo has played more often among the possible departures (5 matches), but has not played since April 5; Zé Rafael, who trains separately, has five appearances in the championship.
