São Paulo and defensive midfielder Luan officially agreed to a mutual termination of his contract on Friday afternoon (11). The early end of the 27-year-old player’s deal, a product of the youth academy in Cotia, was formalized and published in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID).

The previous contract was valid until the end of the current season. As the board and coaching staff showed no intention of renewing it, the parties agreed on terms to bring forward the midfielder’s departure without any mandatory termination costs for the club.

Time away and the end of a cycle

Out of coach Dorival Júnior’s plans, Luan had already been training separately from the main squad since August, when he was working in Cotia.

  • Last call-up: May 26, when he remained on the bench in the 2-0 win over Boston River-URU in the Copa Sudamericana.
  • Last appearance: May 19, in the 1-1 draw against Millonarios-COL at MorumBIS, also in the continental tournament.
  • Numbers in 2026: 14 matches played during the season, four of them as a starter.

Career path and achievements at Morumbi

A youth product of Tricolor, Luan leaves the club with a record of 186 matches, six goals and four assists across eight years with the senior team. The midfielder took part in campaigns that ended major title droughts in São Paulo’s recent history, scoring the goal that secured the 2021 Paulista Championship title and taking part in the victorious Copa do Brasil campaign.

With the termination published in the BID, the player is now a free agent and can sign with another team.
