Gustavo Scarpa: São Paulo negotiates loan deal with Atlético-MG
São Paulo FC is in advanced negotiations to sign midfielder Gustavo Scarpa from Atlético-MG. The proposed deal is structured as a loan until the end of the 2026 season, potentially including an option or obligation to purchase.
Financial constraints are a primary hurdle, as Scarpa’s monthly salary is considered high for São Paulo’s current budget, which is facing cash flow restrictions. To facilitate the move, Scarpa has reportedly agreed to a salary reduction to fit the club’s economic reality.
Physical concerns also play a role in the discussions. The 32-year-old midfielder has struggled with injuries, including a recent muscle edema in his right thigh and a previous knee arthroscopy, and has not played an official match since early May. Despite these challenges, the player has expressed a strong desire to join the São Paulo squad.
