The São Paulo board has recently opened talks with Luciano's staff to renew his contract. With a deal valid only until December 2026, the forward is the top scorer for Hernán Crespo's team this season and is already being scouted by foreign teams.
The strategy of the São Paulo board is to quickly resolve the contractual negotiation with Luciano. Although no official proposal has been presented, the tricolor board intends to reach a quick agreement but also understands that the forward wants a salary increase. The information was initially reported by ESPN and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.
Since October, Luciano's name has been circulating in the transfer market. The forward was approached by Vasco, but the negotiation did not progress. Now, three clubs from the national and international market have already shown interest in Luciano. The São Paulo board wants to avoid the negotiation becoming a "soap opera," as from June, the forward can sign a pre-contract with any team.
Although he seeks a salary increase, Luciano and his staff would like to stay at Morumbi. At São Paulo since 2020, the forward is one of the main players of the Tricolor. In six seasons, he has played 324 times, scored 104 goals, and provided 30 assists. Luciano participated in the titles of the Copa do Brasil in 2023 and the Supercopa do Brasil in 2024.
