Calleri is São Paulo’s quickest scorer in 2026 | OneFootball

Author of one of the goals against Primavera, Calleri played for about 35 minutes in São Paulo's 2-1 victory at Morumbis, in the seventh round of the Campeonato Paulista. The striker, who has returned to gain minutes after suffering a serious injury to his left knee last season, is an important piece in the offensive sector of Hernán Crespo’s team and stands out for his efficiency. In 2026, he is the player who needs the least amount of time to find the net in the Tricolor squad.

In 2026, Calleri needs only 93 minutes to directly participate in a goal for São Paulo. Present in all eight matches for Tricolor this season, the Argentine is still seeking his best physical form and started in three games, playing the full 90 minutes in only two matches. The data is from Sofascore.

Even with this limitation, the number 9 scored four goals and maintains high efficiency in finishing: out of 12 shots, he hit the target six times. Calleri also contributes in other offensive aspects. The striker has a 52% success rate in aerial duels and has already delivered three key passes this year.

Will Calleri stay?

In his second stint at São Paulo, which began in 2021, Calleri is starting his seventh season with the club at a high level. However, the Argentine is in the final contract with the team led by Hernán Crespo. Asked about a renewal, the striker downplayed the topic and left the decision in the hands of the board.

“That’s up to the board. I have to do my part, make myself available to the coach as much as possible and try to score as many goals as I can for São Paulo, that’s what I want most. Then, about next year, we’ll have to rethink and talk day by day with the board to see what they want and what I want too,” said the striker, after the victory over Primavera.

In addition to the six seasons in his second spell, Calleri also played for São Paulo in 2016. In total, the Argentine has found the net 83 times in 234 games. Currently, he is competing for a spot with Tapia, since Ryan Franciso and André Silva are recovering from injury.
