São Paulo continues its restructuring in the youth categories in Cotia. The club negotiated with Europe a midfielder who aged out of the under-20s and would not be used, but hired a batch of athletes for replacement.

The one who left was attacking midfielder Mateus Manso, who just turned 21, sold to F.C. Magpies, a team from the small European country Gibraltar.

The facilitator for the transfer was Mateus's dual nationality. The athlete trained in Cotia was born in the city of Kuopio, Finland. The midfielder was on loan to Boavista-RJ before being definitively negotiated by the Tricolor, which retained linked economic rights of the player. He defended São Paulo from the under-15s in 2019 to the under-20 team in 2024.

In return, Tricolor brought many names for replacement in Cotia. As already announced by AVANTE MEU TRICOLOR this Wednesday (27), three young players were brought in to reinforce the under-20 team, and now more names are coming to São Paulo.

The midfielder and defender Kaio Santos, 19 years old, from Botafogo, and Pedro Henrique, a midfielder who is still 17 years old, but already with experience in the under-20s of Náutico, his former team, come to reinforce the Tricolor base.

In addition to them, many other boys were hired for the under-17 São Paulo team, as reported by the Blog do São Paulo: Artur Leal (Novorizontino), Caio Santana (CSA), Isaac Machado (Bragantino), the midfielder Rickelmi, and for the offensive sector came Mikael José, Johnatan Trevizan, Mario Joaquim and Kerlysson.
