Gustavo Scarpa denies rumors of leaving Atlético Mineiro

Midfielder Gustavo Scarpa has denied rumors regarding a potential departure from Atlético Mineiro. Following social media speculation from a supporter, the player clarified his intention to remain with the club.

Scarpa had previously been linked to São Paulo, but negotiations did not progress due to his desire to stay in Belo Horizonte. The player has struggled for consistent playing time recently, having not featured since May 5, following a period of recovery from a knee injury and subsequent medical issues. He currently holds a contract with Atlético Mineiro until December 2027.

In related transfer news, São Paulo is reportedly evaluating an offer for midfielder Lima, who is currently on loan at América-MEX. While the club had previously considered Scarpa, they are now exploring other options as they manage financial relationships with agents and seek high-profile additions to the squad.
