São Paulo’s debt to agents rises by over R$20m: full figures | OneFootball

São Paulo began 2026 with a significant debt related to player intermediaries, as indicated in the club’s financial statements. Partner outlet Anotações Tricolores published the full table contained in the document. It was rejected by the Council last month, despite showing a surplus of R$ 56.981 million in 2025. The understanding is that this figure could have been higher, in addition to the lack of explanations regarding unjustified withdrawals of R$ 7 million.

The amount owed to agencies for the acquisition of players’ federative rights reached R$ 51.1 million, a significant increase compared to the previous year, when the total stood at R$ 42.4 million.

The distribution of outstanding debts shows concentration among some of football’s main intermediaries. The largest share is linked to Bertolucci Assessoria Propaganda Esportiva, owned by agent Giuliano Bertolucci, with R$ 9.591 million to receive.

It is followed by AIS Football Brasil, with R$ 5.184 million, Gestifute Internacional, with R$ 4.439 million, Talents Sports, with R$ 3.929 million, and Link Assessoria Esportiva e Propaganda, with R$ 3.872 million.

The picture widens when other obligations related to the same negotiation ecosystem are taken into account. The balance sheet points to another R$ 52.5 million in commitments arising from intermediations in player sales and third-party stakes in economic rights. Here too there was an increase, and an even more significant one: in 2024, this total was R$ 31.37 million. That means an increase of more than R$ 20 million in this debt to the agencies.

In this second group, Bertolucci Assessoria also leads, appearing with R$ 11.495 million to receive, a jump of 144% compared to the previous year. Talents Sports again appears among the main creditors, with R$ 3.458 million, and there are also significant amounts owed to Boa Vista Sport Club (possibly related to Lucas Ferreira), totaling R$ 9.342 million, and to Unione Calcio Agenciamento, with R$ 4.894 million.
