Jandrei gives up part of his wages, set to stay at Juventude until 2026 | OneFootball

Goalkeeper Jandrei gave in, agreed to lower his salary, and set the stage for his stay at Juventude for the entire next year.

According to AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, São Paulo’s priority was to find someone willing to keep the 32-year-old player on a permanent basis. But with the agreement between Jandrei and Juventude, the Morumbi club kept its word to extend the goalkeeper’s loan. Now, the split of his reduced wages will be 30% for the São Paulo side and 70% for the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

The agreement for the former São Paulo player to stay at the club where he played on loan at the end of the last Brasileirão should be made official in the coming days.

According to information initially released by the portal ‘UOL‘ and confirmed by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR, since Juventude cannot afford to pay Jandrei’s full salary (especially after being relegated), the club wanted to extend the goalkeeper’s loan through 2026, but maintain the arrangement for São Paulo to continue paying part of the player’s wages, with whom they have a contract until the end of next year.

Worse still, now in Série B and necessarily needing to cut costs, Juventude wanted to further reduce its share of Jandrei’s wages. Currently, Tricolor already covers half of his salary.

Obviously, the ‘proposal’ from the Caxias do Sul (RS) directors was not well received. São Paulo informed the player’s staff that they would prioritize interested parties willing to cover the entire salary. Or at least a larger share than what was offered.

As it turns out, Jandrei gave in. He agreed to lower his salary to remain in Rio Grande do Sul, where he was welcomed and is treated as an idol by the fans.

AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR revealed at the end of October that São Paulo was open to releasing Jandrei at no cost so he could stay with the team from Rio Grande do Sul in 2026.

At the time, the conversation was already not very encouraging. Juventude replied that they would wait for the season to unfold before starting to make plans. Caution was more than necessary for a club that could see a significant drop in revenue.

Jandrei firmly entered São Paulo fans’ “hate list” after the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil against Athletico-PR. A few days later, he was loaned to Juventude, at the request of coach Thiago Carpini, with whom he had worked at Morumbi.

The former São Paulo goalkeeper played 17 matches for Juventude in the Brasileirão. His performances in Caxias were well received, and his continued presence is seen as essential to their project of returning to the national top flight in 2026.
