Marinho and Lucas Moura: Latest Updates on São Paulo’s Transfer Negotiations

The negotiation that made the most progress in recent days was that of Marinho, removed by Flamengo last month. There is an impasse, however, on the salary issue. Club and player have not yet entered into an agreement, and Tricolor is still on the attack.

– Marinho is a great player, but obviously it is a difficult process. We talked to Flamengo, we talked to Marinho, but nothing is certain. O São Paulo you have your financial condition, a budget and you will follow it. If at some point I can hire a great player, like Marinho, great. Before talking to Marinho, we talked to Flamengo. If not, we will continue looking for other athletes – said the manager.

– We always talk to Lucas Moura, a player identified with the São Paulo. But he doesn’t want to go back to Brazil, the family wants to stay in Europe. Whenever Lucas Moura is available and with the desire to return to Brazil, the São Paulo will be talking. At that moment it seems to me that the desire is to continue in Europe, that’s what he told us – she said.

Finally, Belmonte denied conversations with Savarino, formerly of Atlético-MG and currently at Real Salt Lake, in the United States. The player’s name has emerged in recent days.

“We have no conversations with Savarino, no negotiations. This came up in many places, blogs, but we didn’t talk to Savarino – she finished.

Carlos Belmonte admitted the possibility of losing one of the athletes if a good offer appears. The duo has been essential for Dorival Júnior at this point in the season.

– O São Paulo, with the condition it is in, has no non-negotiable players. But obviously our desire is for the permanence of these two young people, who are fundamental and important for our cast. Let’s see how it goes when opening the window – commented Belmonte.

The club still does not have proposals for the athletes, but believes that they will be inevitable.
