As AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR revealed last week, the São Paulo management considers its transfer window closed with the signing of the attacking midfielder Cauly, who arrived on loan from Bahia. Now, the priority at Morumbi will be to renew the contracts of players whose contracts expire either during or at the end of this season.
Some situations are already defined and we have already informed you.
Luciano has agreed to extend his contract for two more seasons, until December 2028. The official announcement of the new agreement between the parties should be released by the club in the coming days.
In the negotiations, a salary increase was also agreed upon for the player who has scored over 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 is extended for another season.
Marcos Antônio has also made progress in his renewal. The midfielder, who has become one of the team's highlights, will be permanently acquired from Lazio, Italy, and has an agreement for a contract lasting until the end of 2030, with a good salary increase for the number 8.
Another player who is said to have already signed the contract renewal is the midfielder Negrucci. His new agreement with the club runs until 2030, also with a clause for an automatic one-year extension based on goals.
The case of the midfielder was considered even more urgent, as his current contract only runs until July, and he could already sign a pre-contract with any club.
The report found that Verona, Italy, had offered the athlete a pre-contract, but despite having Italian citizenship, which would facilitate the transfer, he reportedly declined the offer, eyeing the possibility of gaining more playing time this season, which in theory could be more easily granted with his contractual situation resolved.
However, this Thursday (19) there was an update on three more cases.
The first is positive for São Paulo. Defender Sabino has agreed to extend his contract until the end of 2027. According to Tricolor executive Rui Costa, it is just a matter of resolving bureaucratic issues of the new contract for it to be formalized.
The other two are also positive, but with a bit less optimism. Forward Calleri and attacking midfielder Lucas have not yet started talks for their renewals, but according to Costa, the agents of both will be contacted very soon to start negotiations.
There is less optimism in one situation, that of goalkeeper Young. The young player from Cotia even has a career plan in hand, with a renewal until 2030 that includes a loan to play regularly and a long-term match plan. But his stay for 2027 became complicated after his agent, Wagner Ribeiro, complained to the portal ‘Globo Esporte‘ that he is not properly valued and that the plan is to take him out of Morumbi. We'll see how this will be resolved…
