With the new month, Victor Sá will finally be unveiled by São Paulo | OneFootball

São Paulo will finally be free from this July onward to make official and announce the signing of 32-year-old forward Victor Sá. The player has already undergone medical exams at the club and has agreed on contract terms with the club’s board.

However, the new signing, who has been in Brazil since the end of May after the European season concluded, was still under contract with Russia’s Krasnodar until June 30. Although the player’s representatives and São Paulo’s top brass sought an early release, the Russian side resisted because the forward refused to renew his contract.

As AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR previously revealed, Sá has been training since Wednesday (17) at the Barra Funda training center, where he underwent his first medical exams on site with São Paulo’s medical department.

With all of Victor Sá’s presentation material already prepared, São Paulo was only waiting for the turn of the month so that his ties with the Russians would end before making the announcement, which should come between this Wednesday (7/1) and Thursday (2).

Long-term deal and salary progression meet coaching staff’s request

The agreement with Victor Sá runs through December 2029, solidifying one of head coach Dorival Júnior’s main priorities to strengthen the attacking sector. The financial plan for the transfer provides for monthly wages of R$700,000 through the end of 2026, with a scheduled increase to R$1 million per month starting in January 2027.

The signing is intended to give the squad greater depth for the remainder of the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Sudamericana. If the paperwork is cleared before the transfer window officially opens on July 20, Victor Sá will be the seventh signing announced by São Paulo this season, and the first in the second half of the year.

Professional background and overseas experience

A product of Palmeiras’ youth academy, Victor Sá built a solid career in international football. In Europe, the forward played for Austria’s LASK and Germany’s Wolfsburg. He also had a spell at Al Jazira of the United Arab Emirates before moving to Krasnodar.

On the domestic stage, the player recently stood out while wearing Botafogo’s shirt between 2022 and 2024, a period in which he made 94 official appearances and scored 10 goals for the Rio de Janeiro club.
