São Paulo fended off European interest in its breakout defender from Cotia and renewed Osorio's contract until the end of February 2030.

And the release clause for foreign clubs is daunting. According to initial information from Globo Esporte, it was set at 100 million euros, approximately R$ 605 million at the current exchange rate. For the domestic market, the termination fee is R$ 59 million. São Paulo retained 70% of Osorio's economic rights in this renewal.

The club that showed the most interest in the defender, who was one of the highlights of the runner-up campaign in the Copinha, was Betis from Spain, which made inquiries about the Tricolor player back in 2025.

Still only 19 years old, Luis Osorio has been defending São Paulo's youth colors since 2023, when he arrived from Desportivo Brasil. He played in the last three Copinhas for the Tricolor, winning in 2025 and finishing as runner-up this season. He also has two Copa do Brasil Sub-20 trophies won in the last two years.

This season, he played ten matches for the Tricolor youth team, scoring two goals, and firmly established himself as one of the main pillars of the São Paulo under-20 team led by Allan Barcellos.
