After some rumors suggesting that he would be leaving São Paulo to return to Vasco, the midfielder Matheus Ferreira explained the situation that kept him out of the latest training sessions of the Tricolor's under-20 team and dispelled rumors.

The 19-year-old is on loan from Vasco to São Paulo until January 2026 and had to go to Rio de Janeiro to solve some personal issues, authorized by Tricolor.

The São Paulo player's press office issued a statement clarifying the situation:

"Matheus Ferreira remains firm and committed to São Paulo, working daily to contribute to the team in the best possible way. The rumors that circulated do not reflect the reality of the facts," said the press office.

"I have a lot of respect and affection for São Paulo. At no time did I want to leave the club. I just had some personal problems in Rio de Janeiro, and the club supported me, gave me a few days so that I could go and solve them. After that, I returned to São Paulo, but I had some physical problems due to loss of rhythm. With all the work of physiotherapists Bruno Seco and Jatener Pedro Sales, I was able to regain my physical form and I am ready. Let's go, Tricolor!", said Matheus Ferreira.

"We reinforce that Matheus maintains his total focus on work and commitment to São Paulo Football Club, counting on the support of the technical committee, the squad and the fans to continue evolving," added the young midfielder's press office statement.
