São Paulo set to extend Luciano’s contract | OneFootball

By Thais Bueno

São Paulo has reached an agreement to renew the contract with forward Luciano. The parties have not yet defined the duration of the new deal, but there is already a proposal on the club’s table that meets the player’s demands and the club’s current situation.

At the moment, the decision rests with the São Paulo board, led by Rui Costa in the football department. Although a final decision has not yet been made, the tendency is for a positive outcome in the negotiations.

São Paulo is evaluating the overall scenario and there are still some details to be worked out with the player’s representatives. Luciano’s current contract, it’s worth remembering, is only valid until the end of this season, and he would be free to sign a pre-contract as early as mid-year.

São Paulo wanted to renew with Luciano, who is considered an important piece for Hernán Crespo’s squad and is seen as one of the team’s leaders. The forward’s willingness to stay has made a difference in the negotiations.

The information was initially reported by ESPN and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Name speculated in the market

Since October, Luciano’s name has been circulating in the transfer market. The forward was approached by Vasco, but negotiations did not move forward. In addition to the Rio de Janeiro team, three other clubs—both domestic and international—have already shown interest in Luciano at the beginning of this month.

At São Paulo since 2020, the forward is one of Tricolor’s main players. In six seasons, he has played 327 matches, scored 104 goals, and provided 31 assists. Luciano was part of the squads that won the Copa do Brasil in 2023 and the Supercopa do Brasil in 2024.
