Tricolor’s third signing for the second half of the season, defensive midfielder Newton Jr. was unveiled this Wednesday (29) and held a press conference at SuperCT after being welcomed by football executive Rafinha.
“Every high-performance player dreams of playing for São Paulo. I’m very happy and focused on playing football,” said the player.
The 26-year-old midfielder was with Botafogo and signed a contract with São Paulo until December 31, 2029.
“When Rafinha spoke to me about the possibility of coming here, I was very happy. When a three-time world champion club makes you an offer, it’s impossible to turn it down. Fortunately, everything worked out and I’m here,” he celebrated.
In addition to Newton Jr., Tricolor had already presented two other signings: right-back Aurélio Buta and forward Victor Sá.
