São Paulo FC is still looking for a defender in the market after Domingos Duarte's refusal from Getafe. The arrival of a defender is considered a priority by coach Dorival Júnior, who wants to strengthen the team for the remainder of the season. The club is focused on finding opportunities without transfer costs, especially with players who are out of contract or can be acquired on loan. Among the names consulted is Arthur Chaves, a Brazilian defender who belongs to Hoffenheim and is currently on loan at Augsburg in Germany. Although there are no negotiations underway yet, the Tricolor has already contacted the player's representatives to assess the feasibility of a possible signing. Before the break for the World Cup, Dorival and the board compiled a list of over 50 options for the defensive sector. So far, no official proposals have been presented, but the expectation is that the club will remain active in the market to strengthen the team.
