Porto transfer news: São Paulo eye B-team centre-back | OneFootball

São Paulo are assessing the signing of Felipe Silva, a 24-year-old centre-back who plays for FC Porto’s B team. The Brazilian club have already opened talks with the Dragons, but for now the two sides remain far apart in their positions.

São Paulo’s interest in the Brazilian player is genuine, and Porto’s board has already been contacted to discuss the terms of a potential deal, although no formal offer has yet been made. FC Porto want a permanent transfer, while the club from São Paulo, due to financial limitations, are prioritising a loan move.

Felipe Silva joined FC Porto on a permanent deal last season, after spending his first season on loan from Gil Vicente. The Dragons paid €500,000 for 75 per cent of his economic rights, a figure that could rise by a further €200,000 in variables.

FC Porto also retained the option to acquire another 5 per cent of his economic rights for €100,000 until the end of this month, and a further 5 per cent for the same amount until June 2027. A left-footed centre-back, Felipe Silva was a regular starter for the B team, making 32 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. He is under contract until 2029, and Porto’s board are open to negotiating his transfer, provided the right offer comes in.
