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

São Paulo have agreed a contract renewal with midfielder Negrucci, 21, until December 31, 2029 – with an option to extend it for one more season. His previous deal had been 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 just for me, but for my whole family as well. I’m very grateful to God for this achievement, and I hope to be very happy here and build a beautiful story at the club,” 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’m confident 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 has had a successful and leadership-filled journey in the youth setup and, since being promoted to the professional squad, has shown exemplary attitude and commitment to the group on a daily basis,” said 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 the Tricolor player with the longest uninterrupted spell at the club: 11 years representing the club’s colors, from the youth ranks to the senior squad.

Before receiving his first opportunity with the senior squad in 2023, the midfielder won three titles at Cotia: the Paulista U-15 Championship (2018), the Brazil Cup U-17 (2020), and the Brazil Super Cup U-17 (2020).

The transition process included appearances for both the youth teams and the senior squad, resulting in further titles and experience: he won the Brazil Cup (2023) and the Supercopa Rei (2024) with the first team, and the Brazil Cup U-20 (2024) and Copinha (2025) with the youth setup.

Now, with his contract renewed, the player looked ahead to the next steps.

“My main goal is always to do my best for the club. It’s about continuing to work hard every day, always improving, and earning my place in the team. And, of course, being able to win many titles wearing this shirt,” Negrucci concluded.
