BID spills the beans: São Paulo extend Marcos Antônio to 2030 | OneFootball

Still without an official announcement from the club, Marcos Antônio has agreed to renew his contract with São Paulo until the end of 2030.

The new contract of the valued number 8, a coveted player for Flamengo and considered for a call-up to the Brazilian National Team, was made official on the afternoon of this Tuesday (3) by the CBF, through the BID (Daily Information Bulletin).

To conclude the negotiation, the Tricolor terminated the loan agreement with Lazio, which was valid until mid-year, before the transfer window closed.

The agreement establishes a release clause of 100 million euros (about R$ 612 million at the current exchange rate) for the international market and R$ 900 million for Brazilian clubs. Marcos Antônio received a salary increase of about one-third more than he previously earned.

Marcos Antônio joined São Paulo on loan in 2024 and had the loan agreement renewed for another season by the Italians last year. The 25-year-old midfielder has played 70 games for the Tricolor with seven assists. The player is considered a key piece of Crespo's team.

In the agreement with Lazio, São Paulo will need to pay around R$ 25 million. The payment is scheduled to be made in up to three annual installments, and the Morumbi club needs to settle the first installment within the first half of this year.

According to Transfermarkt, the Tricolor has already profited from the deal, as the number 8 is currently valued at around 9 million euros, approximately R$ 55 million.
