Right-back Aurélio Buta was officially introduced this Friday (24) at SuperCT and held a press conference after the morning training session.

The player was welcomed by football executive Rafinha and spoke about his arrival at Tricolor.

“When my agents and Rafinha spoke to me about coming to São Paulo, it was an easy decision because it’s a huge club. I liked the idea of taking on this challenge and quickly decided to play here. It’s a new country, a completely different change from Europe, but I like big challenges,” said the new number 20, who added.

“I used to follow Brazilian football in Portugal, and it always caught my attention. It’s a very aggressive style of football, with many players who dribble and have technical quality. That was one of the factors that influenced my decision to come here. It’s a kind of football that appeals to me, and I really like it,” he revealed.

Buta joins São Paulo on a contract valid until June 30, 2027, with an automatic renewal clause based on performance targets through June 30, 2028.

“Everyone has welcomed me very warmly. The people here are very affectionate and received me in a very positive way. I believe that helps even more with adapting to the club and the country. All I can say is that they welcomed me in a very positive way,” he concluded.

Born in Angola, Aurélio Buta moved to Portugal at the age of four and holds Portuguese nationality. He has been called up several times to the European country’s youth national teams and also brings with him the experience of having played in Belgium, Germany, and France.
