Porto transfer market: São Paulo keen on 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.

São Paulo’s interest in the Brazilian player is genuine, and Porto’s board has already been contacted to discuss the terms of a possible 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, favour 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 percent of his economic rights, a figure that could rise by a further €200,000 in add-ons.

FC Porto also retained the option to acquire another 5 percent of his economic rights for €100,000 by the end of this month, and a further 5 percent 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 the board is open to negotiating his transfer, provided the right offer comes in.
