São Paulo await Jandrei’s move to Juventude to seal his exit | OneFootball

The infamous first planning meeting between São Paulo’s board and coaching staff for next season will only take place this Wednesday (29), but we can already say that one topic is being treated as a done deal internally: Jandrei’s departure.

The veteran 32-year-old goalkeeper ended up being loaned to Juventude until the end of this year. And, with a contract with Tricolor until the end of next year, his future at Morumbi depends solely and exclusively on the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Hold on, we’ll explain…

No one, absolutely no one from São Paulo’s board has any plans for the 2026 squad that involve Jandrei’s presence. But for his departure to be finalized, the Morumbi club depends on an agreement between the goalkeeper and Juventude.

According to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, the last conversation between the clubs from Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo wasn’t very encouraging. Juventude told São Paulo that they are waiting to see how the season unfolds before starting to make their plans. Caution is more than necessary for a club that could face a significant drop in revenue. The team from Caxias do Sul (RS) is second to last in the standings, with 26 points, six behind Santos, the first team outside the dreaded relegation zone.

There is still hope of staying in Série A. And indirectly, even if it’s not a decisive factor for Jandrei’s stay, whether in Série A or B, it could force the team from Rio Grande do Sul to push harder to negotiate a salary more in line with their reality.

If an agreement is reached between the player and his current club, São Paulo is even willing to talk to Jandrei about a mutual contract termination, releasing him for good to the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

Jandrei was firmly placed on the São Paulo fans’ blacklist after the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil against Athletico-PR. A few days after that, he was loaned to Juventude, at the request of coach Thiago Carpini, with whom he had worked at Morumbi.

Since arriving in Caxias, the goalkeeper has become the undisputed starter and has already played in 12 of their matches in the Brasileirão.
