São Paulo FC is working on the possibility of negotiating up to seven players in the next transfer window, which opens on July 20 and closes on September 11. The goal is to trim the squad and reduce the payroll. Among the players with an uncertain future are Negrucci, Belém, Young, Luan, Arboleda, and Cédric Soares. In addition, Bobadilla is seen as a player with potential for appreciation and may receive proposals after the Copa do Mundo.

Despite the extension of the link, the 21-year-old midfielder has received few opportunities, and the board's idea is to loan him to gain sequence. In this season, Negrucci played only five matches and accumulated 94 minutes on the field.

In this scenario, there are the goalkeeper Young, the defender Belém, the midfielder Luan, and the defender Arboleda. Born in Cotia, Young and Belém have not entered the field in 2026. The 24-year-old goalkeeper lost space after the arrival of Coronel, and his representatives also expect a transfer. Belém returned from loan to Camboriú at the beginning of the season and has not been used since then.

The midfielder played 14 matches in 2026, but the board's expectation is to negotiate him definitively in this window. Arboleda, on the other hand, has been absent since April, when he traveled to Ecuador without informing the board. The defender has a contract until 2027, but is no longer part of the club's plans. São Paulo, however, is finding it difficult to concretize a negotiation. The case of Bobadilla is different. A team player and considered one of the pillars of the team, the midfielder is not for sale, but the board understands that he may attract interest from other markets after the Copa do Mundo. Convoked by Paraguay, the player is seen as one of the assets with the greatest potential for appreciation in the team.

In addition to the names mentioned, São Paulo does not rule out hearing proposals for Cédric Soares. The right-back has a contract until the end of 2027, while his representatives monitor opportunities in the market. Cedric trains at São Paulo CT — Photo: Erico Leonan/saopaulofc
