São Paulo sign Libertadores winner from Flamengo, Rubro-Negro miss out | OneFootball

Dismissed by Bahia, Lucyan is a new reinforcement for São Paulo's base

Champion of the Libertadores and the Under-20 World Cup with Flamengo last year, right-back Lucyan is the new reinforcement for São Paulo. Bahia had made the signing from the Rubro-Negro in March of this year. However, the 19-year-old player was dismissed for indiscipline in August, and the Morumbi team settled with the promise. With the transfer, the Mengo loses the 30% it was entitled to when it released the player to Salvador.

Lucyan signed a contract with São Paulo valid until June 30, 2028, and a termination fine of 80 million euros, that is, R$ 506 million at the current exchange rate. The information of the São Paulo club's signing and the 30% lost by Flamengo is from journalist Venê Casagrande.

HOW WAS THE NEGOTIATION?

With no space at Flamengo, Lucyan signed with Bahia until December 2027. The Rubro-Negro released the player at no cost, but kept 30%. At the time, the termination fine was set at 100 million euros (about R$ 600 million). With the deal undone, the Mengo lost the percentage it was entitled to.

The stint in Salvador lasted less than expected, and the Bahians even released an official note this August confirming the dismissal. "The Bahia Sports Club SAF announces the release of right-back Lucyan. The Under-20 team player arrived at the club in March 2025 and played 16 matches for the Steel Pivots."

HOW WAS LUCYAN'S STINT AT FLAMENGO?

Lucyan was a starter for Flamengo in the final stretch of the Libertadores 2024 victory, playing the final against Boca Juniors (ARG). In the World Cup that year, he was a substitute for the team that beat Olympiacos (GRE) and was coached by Filipe Luís. In summary, the player, born in Cuiabá, arrived at Mais Querido in the under-15 category and left the club earlier this year.
