São Paulo continues its restructuring in the youth categories in Cotia. The club negotiated to Europe a midfielder who aged out of the under-20 and would not be utilized, but signed a batch of players for replacement.

The one who left was the attacking midfielder Mateus Manso, who just turned 21, sold to F.C. Magpies, a team from the small European country Gibraltar.

The facilitator for the transfer was Mateus's dual nationality. The player trained in Cotia was born in the city of Kuopio, Finland. The midfielder was on loan to Boavista-RJ before being permanently transferred by the Tricolor, which retained economic rights linked to the player. He played for São Paulo from the under-15 in 2019 to the under-20 team in 2024.

In return, Tricolor brought in many names for replacement in Cotia. As already announced by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR this Wednesday (27), three young players were brought in to strengthen the under-20 team, and now more names are joining São Paulo.

The defensive midfielder and defender Kaio Santos, 19 years old, coming from Botafogo, and Pedro Henrique, a midfielder still 17 years old, but already with experience in the under-20 team of Náutico, his former team, are coming to strengthen the Tricolor base.

Besides them, many other youngsters were signed for the São Paulo under-17 team, as informed by the Blog do São Paulo: Artur Leal (Novorizontino), Caio Santana (CSA), Isaac Machado (Bragantino), the defensive midfielder Rickelmi, and for the offensive sector came Mikael José, Johnatan Trevizan, Mario Joaquim, and Kerlysson.
