São Paulo FC settles Enzo Díaz debt and renews Jonathan Calleri while Cruzeiro eyes Wesley signing

São Paulo FC paid US$50,000 to Argentine left‑back Enzo Díaz to avoid a FIFA complaint, though the player’s departure remains likely and a mutual termination is being discussed. The club also reached an agreement to extend striker Jonathan Calleri’s contract until the end of 2028, with an automatic renewal clause tied to performance targets.

Cruzeiro is close to completing the signing of forward Wesley from Al‑Nassr after overcoming earlier delays, aiming to register him before the August 7 deadline for the Copa Libertadores knockout stage. The club also announced its starting XI for the Copa do Brasil round‑of‑16 match against Chapecoense, scheduled for Sunday at Arena Condá.

Other South American clubs made notable moves: Portuguesa demanded a financial compensation to loan right‑back João Vitor, while Argentine midfielder Federico Mancuello rejected European offers and signed a performance‑based contract with Argentinos Juniors, returning to his home country. In European handball, German side SG Flensburg‑Handewitt confirmed the 2027/28 signings of Portuguese brothers Kiko and Martim Costa, who will remain with Sporting CP for the 2026/27 season before moving to Germany.
