The left-back Enzo Díaz will be permanently acquired by São Paulo at the end of the loan. The Argentinian met the goals set in the contract to activate the purchase obligation, which will be executed by Tricolor with River Plate, with whom the deal was made.

The deal's value will be offset with the Argentinians thanks to midfielder Galoppo, who was involved in the negotiation with River, and is also close to meeting the stipulated goal for his purchase.

São Paulo will have to disburse 2 million dollars (R$ 10.8 million at the current exchange rate) to pay River Plate for the purchase of Enzo, after he reached the mark of 50% of games played this season, with at least 45 minutes of performance in each, as initially reported by GE.com.

For this amount of nearly R$ 11 million, Tricolor will not yet have the full rights to the foreign player, as they will only hold 60% of the economic rights of the Argentinian left-back.

And how does Galoppo help?

Considered by much of the fans as a major failure at São Paulo, and with some reason, the also Argentinian Galoppo went in the exchange between clubs to River Plate and has been playing a lot, even scoring goals. The midfielder is on loan, just like Enzo Díaz, until the end of the year.

The stipulated clauses are the same: if Galoppo plays for at least 45 minutes in 50% of the team's matches, it activates the purchase obligation, also only for 60% of his rights. The other 40% remain with Tricolor. And only four more games are needed for this to happen, and for River to have to buy the player at the end of the contract.

The value of the midfielder, however, is higher. It is 3.6 million dollars (R$ 19.4 million) that São Paulo expects to receive from the Argentinians. In other words, Tricolor will still profit about R$ 8.5 million in this exchange, already offsetting the amount that will have to be paid for Enzo Díaz.

The Argentinian left-back played in 41 matches for the Morumbi club this season to meet the goal, even alternating at times in the position with Wendell, another reinforcement for the left side. Enzo stands out not only for his defensive disposition, being considered the best in this aspect for the position, but also for his advances in attack.

He has already scored a goal wearing the tricolor jersey and provided four assists. He had some mistakes, with penalties and fouls committed, some defensive errors, but overall, he pleases the São Paulo fans with his grit, but also offensive technique. São Paulo will still announce the terms of the new contract with the 'new' reinforcement in the future.
