Lucas Ramon joins after Mirassol deal Alisson snubbed with São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo finalized on Friday night (30) the early arrival of right-back Lucas Ramon, a reinforcement who had already signed a pre-contract with the club since December.

The 31-year-old player was released by Mirassol, with whom he had a contract until the beginning of May, after decisive action from his agents, who sat down with the interior club and gave up amounts they were owed in bonuses and image rights to secure his release to Tricolor.

In short, Ramon and his staff did what Alisson gave up on doing to play for the rival.

As AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR revealed, the São Paulo midfielder considered giving up overdue image rights and bonuses to secure his release to Corinthians, after the east zone team failed to pay upfront the R$ 1 million agreed for his one-year loan.

The Morumbi club’s management waited for a formal proposal from Alisson’s staff. But it never appeared by the time this report was published. And the number 25 even returned to training normally with the rest of the squad last Friday.

São Paulo spent the entire month negotiating with Mirassol to secure Ramon’s release. They offered between R$ 500,000 and R$ 2 million in installments and even hinted at releasing players on loan. In all cases, the interior club refused.

As AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR found out, the interior team was upset that the right-back declined the contract extension offer, at least until the end of the year, considering their unprecedented participation in the Copa Libertadores. Because of this, they did not make it easier for him to be released early to São Paulo.

And in a way, Mirassol even ‘punished’ the new São Paulo signing, as not only did they not register him for the Campeonato Paulista, but they also had him training separately from the squad.

With the constant refusals from the São Paulo club, São Paulo had given up on continuing negotiations. But as the report found out, at the start of the week Ramon’s staff decided to take action. They began holding frequent meetings with Mirassol to obtain his release.

Lucas Ramon had four goals and five assists (two and three, respectively, in the Brasileirão) in 44 matches for Mirassol this season. Like his teammate Danielzinho, he is another ‘late bloomer.’ Among big clubs, he only played for Grêmio, and that was in the youth teams. His modest career, however, included stints at regionally prominent clubs like Coritiba and Sport.
