Midfielder came through in Cotia and has been representing the club for 11 years

São Paulo have agreed to extend the contract of midfielder Negrucci, 21, until December 31, 2029 – with an option to extend it for one more season. His previous deal was valid until July 31, 2026.

“This renewal means a lot to me. I arrived at São Paulo when I was 10 years old, and wearing this shirt as a professional player is a dream come true. Not only for me, but for my whole family as well. I thank God so much for this achievement, and I hope to be very happy and build a beautiful story here,” he said.

“Negrucci has been representing our colors for more than ten years, from the youth ranks to the first team, always with the same commitment and professionalism. I am confident that he can contribute a lot to the team,” said president Harry Massis Júnior.

“Negrucci’s renewal ensures continuity in the player’s development process. He had a path marked by achievements and leadership in the youth ranks and, since moving up to the professional squad, has shown exemplary attitude and commitment to the group on a daily basis,” assessed football executive Rui Costa.

Born in Limeira, in the interior of São Paulo state, Felipe Negrucci Berdague arrived at the CFA in Cotia in 2015 and is currently Tricolor’s longest-serving uninterrupted player: 11 years representing the club, from the academy to the senior squad.

The midfielder won three titles in Cotia before receiving his first opportunity with the senior squad in 2023: he lifted the Under-15 Paulista Championship (2018), the Under-17 Copa do Brasil (2020), and the Under-17 Supercopa do Brasil (2020).

The transition process included appearances with both the youth teams and the senior squad, resulting in further titles and experience: he won the Copa do Brasil (2023) and the Supercopa Rei (2024) with the senior team, as well as the Under-20 Copa do Brasil (2024) and the Copinha (2025) with the academy.

Now, with his contract renewed, the player spoke about the next steps.

“My main goal is always to do my best for the club. It’s to keep working hard every day, keep improving, and earn my place within the team. And, of course, to win many titles in this shirt,” Negrucci concluded.
