São Paulo FC and Calleri remain far from a renewal agreement. In a meeting held on Monday, at the CT da Barra Funda, the board presented a new proposal to the striker, with lower values than those previously offered to the Argentine's representatives.

What happened?

The previous proposal was drawn up during the tenure of football executive Rui Costa and was presented to the Argentine's representatives. However, according to ge, the change in the football department led the club to review the terms and reformulate the proposal.

Why is this important for São Paulo FC?

Calleri is internally treated as one of the main leaders of the squad and a player identified with the club. However, there is no consensus in the board about a possible high investment to renew the contract of a 32-year-old striker.

What comes next?

The player's representatives were not satisfied with the reformulation of the proposal and considered the reduction in values a setback in the negotiations. The scenario has become one of greater pessimism regarding a renewal agreement. Calleri shares the top scorer spot for São Paulo this season with Luciano, both with 11 goals.

The São Paulo FC board presented a significantly lower offer, with a payment of R$ 2 million in signing fees and a salary of up to R$ 1.5 million per month, without bonuses for sports achievements. Rafinha replaces Rui Costa as interim and leads the negotiations.
