São Paulo agree new deal, Luciano could stay 4 more years | OneFootball

São Paulo has reached an agreement with Luciano for a contract renewal of their number 10, continuing the new agreements with the main players in the squad.

The forward has a contract with Tricolor until the end of 2026, but has agreed to an extension for two more seasons, until December 2028. The official announcement of the new agreement between the parties is expected to be released by the club in the coming days.

After the internal crisis that caused great turmoil at São Paulo, the new president Harry Massis began negotiations with players whose contracts were nearing expiration, including Luciano.

In the negotiations, a salary increase for the player was also agreed upon, who has already scored more than 100 goals for the Morumbi team.

Another important detail in the new contract is an automatic extension until the end of 2029, if Luciano meets stipulated goals. If the top scorer plays at least half of 35 Tricolor games in 2028, the agreement extends for another season.

As revealed last week by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, Luciano will receive a raise and become one of the highest-paid players on the team. The management believes that the compensation is fair considering the performance of the number 10 in the last two years, where he was São Paulo's top scorer of the season.

The renewal aims to ward off the many interested parties that always appear during transfer windows seeking Luciano. For several years, Arab football has been eyeing the number 10, who also routinely receives inquiries from Brazilian clubs.

Just last year, Santos and Vasco leaked their interest in the forward. The coastal rival even proposed a swap with winger Guilherme, which was ultimately vetoed by the former Tricolor management. The Cariocas publicly express their interest every year, but have never formalized a proposal due to São Paulo's prior refusal to even open talks.
