São Paulo prefer permanent Jandrei deal over Juventude loan extension | OneFootball

Everyone knows that São Paulo wants to get rid of Jandrei. That's why the tricolor club wasn't at all excited about the first offer made by Juventude to keep the 32-year-old goalkeeper, who spent the last few months on loan to the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

According to information initially released by the portal ‘UOL‘ and confirmed by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, without being able to cover the entirety of Jandrei's current salary (especially after being relegated), Juventude wants to extend the goalkeeper's loan until 2026.

It sounds exciting, but the team from Rio Grande do Sul also wants to maintain the agreement for São Paulo to continue paying part of the player's wages, with whom they have a contract until the end of next year.

Worse, now in Série B and needing to reduce expenses, Juventude wants to further decrease their share of Jandrei's costs. Currently, the Tricolor already covers half of the wages.

Obviously, the ‘proposal’ from the directors of Caxias do Sul (RS) was not well received. São Paulo informed the player's staff that they would prioritize interested parties who would cover the entire salary. Or at least a larger portion than what was offered.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR revealed at the end of October that São Paulo accepted the possibility of releasing Jandrei without costs for him to remain with the team from Rio Grande do Sul in 2026.

At the time, the conversation was not very exciting. Juventude responded that they were waiting for the season to unfold to start outlining their plans. Caution is more than necessary for those who might face a significant drop in revenue.

The indication received by the tricolor directors is that the goalkeeper did not want to give up his salary. If there was an agreement between the player and the club where he was, São Paulo would agree to an amicable termination, releasing him permanently to the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Jandrei became a target of São Paulo fans' anger after the elimination in the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil against Athletico-PR. A few days after the event, he was loaned to Juventude, on the recommendation of coach Thiago Carpini, with whom he worked at Morumbi.

The former São Paulo goalkeeper played 17 matches for Juventude in the Brasileirão. His performances in Caxias were pleasing, and his stay is seen as essential for their project to return to the national elite in 2026.
