Conmebol publishes ranking of the 32 clubs that will be in Libertadores 2023 see Campeonato Paulista table The professionalization of contracts with young athletes has become common this year at the club. Much of this is to avoid cases similar to those of Marquinhos and Luizão, when athletes exposed to the tricolor base left the club for lower than expected values and caused financial loss to the club. At the beginning of the year, in an interview with journalists Arnaldo Ribeiro and Eduardo Tironi, Carlos Belmonte – São Paulo's football director – highlighted the tendency, when it comes to Quota athletes, for contracts to be sufficient. According to him, unless changes are made at the base, players will not be able to play professionally. - If you are not renewing the base, do not look for a professional. Not only because of what happened with Marquinhos, because we managed to reach a reasonably favorable resolution, mainly because of Luizão, which is not good in our opinion, but these are situations that happen - he explained. Felisberto spoke about the excitement of signing his first professional contract and São Paulo's reputation as a great commitment. He said that signing the contract would mean “a dream come true” and happiness in “representing one of the biggest clubs in the world”. - It's a dream come true to be recognized in a big club. This shows that I'm on the right path. São Paulo is one of the biggest clubs in the world. It’s a great pleasure to represent him – he said.
