Breaking: São Paulo eye Uruguayan winger in Spain's second tier | OneFootball

In search of a fast attacker for the wings, São Paulo has been closely monitoring the situation of winger Brian Ocampo, a 26-year-old Uruguayan who played in Spain’s second division last season for Cádiz.

Ocampo’s future in Spanish football is uncertain. With the likelihood that the Uruguayan will not renew his contract, which expires at the end of the month, he has become an attractive market opportunity. The information was first reported by the page ‘Radar da Bola‘.

The forward is not new to the scouting department at the Morumbi club, as he had already been on São Paulo’s radar before moving to Cádiz in 2022.

Internally, the club believes the player fits the desired profile for the attack and suits the club’s financial reality.

Although there are no ongoing negotiations, Tricolor remains attentive to the player’s situation ahead of the next transfer window.

Ocampo came through at Nacional. Two-footed, he can play on both sides of the pitch, as well as in the roles of attacking midfielder and second striker. Last season, he recorded five goals and two assists in 31 matches for the modest Spanish club. The player has a reputation for being problematic, with off-field issues. That is also why he has attracted little attention in the Old Continent.

According to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, São Paulo has made progress in talks to sign Victor Sá, the former Botafogo player who also operates as a left winger. Sources consulted by the report indicate that the Brazilian’s arrival would not hinder talks for the Uruguayan, as the idea is to give coach Dorival Júnior more options in the attacking sector.
