São Paulo striker Jonathan Calleri nears contract renewal until 2028
Jonathan Calleri and São Paulo FC have moved closer to a new contract after the Argentine forward lowered his salary demands. The agreement will keep Calleri at the Morumbi until December 2028, with a clause that could automatically extend the deal to December 2029 if performance targets are met. His revised salary is reported at roughly R$ 1.4 million per month, down from the R$ 1.7 million he initially sought. São Paulo will also settle an outstanding image‑rights and prize‑money debt of about R$ 7‑7.2 million in installments as part of the deal. Although clubs from the United States (Orlando City) and Mexico (Monterrey) offered higher financial terms, Calleri chose to remain with São Paulo, where his contract had been due to expire at the end of the current year.
The renewal follows a period in which Calleri, 32, scored 12 goals in the 2026 season and is only three goals shy of matching his 2022 record of 27. The forward’s continued presence is viewed as important for São Paulo’s attacking options as the club battles for a higher table position.
