Dorival again asks for squad maintenance in the transfer window, but São Paulo is unlikely to respond
The transfer window opens on July 3rd, but the topic already dominates the corridors of Morumbi and CT da Barra Funda. São Paulo knows that it has little cash to reinforce the squad and knows that it will have to sell a player in the next transfer window. It is difficult to avoid the situation, especially if there are “heavy” offers from Europe. However, if it depends on coach Dorival Júnior, no athlete will leave Tricolor. In a press conference after Cruzeiro's 1-0 defeat, last Saturday (24), Trienador was asked about possible news, in addition to striker Alexandre Pato, who had already been announced, but still had no set debut date. Dorival wanted to disagree, but again asked the board to keep parts of the current squad and not sell them in the transfer window. PERFORMANCES: Attack misses chances and Rafinha scores against São Paulo in the Brasileirão defeat - I won't comment on reinforcements. I want to comment... and I hope I don't lose any players this year and at the end of the year. For me, this is the biggest point. I have to be aware that I work with them here, I thank them, I try to get the most out of each one and I fight for the best place in the competition. That's why each one of them is very important to me. That's why I trust this group until the end of the competition and I don't create expectations regarding acquisitions – said Dorival. For passionate tricolors: FutFanatics products from R$39.90! Some of the athletes revealed in the tricolor base are in the sights of European football and the board already knows that depending on the proposal it will be difficult for them to stay. Pablo Maia is one of them. The 21-year-old midfielder, the team's starter and important midfield player, has been receiving inquiries from English clubs since the end of last year. São Paulo intends to reach at least 64 million rubles to sell the player. Rodrigo Nestor and Beraldo are also constantly looking for teams abroad. It is worth remembering that in the club's budget forecast for 2023, the collection of R$ 135 million is presented as a target in the athletes' negotiations. Furthermore, São Paulo did not sell any players in the window at the beginning of the year, which means that the club will be “chasing defeats” this season between July and August. Behind the scenes, there is no repeat of what happened with striker Marquinhos and defender Luizão. The base revealed that the first was free, while the second was being sold “cheaply”, as it was at the end of the contract. Follow Lance!
