In late July 2026, Argentine striker Jonathan Calleri ended a 12-match goal drought for São Paulo FC with a header against Flamengo, marking his first goal since early April and bringing him close to a personal 100-goal milestone for the club.

Following the goal, São Paulo and Calleri moved closer to a new agreement after the forward lowered his salary demands. The revised salary was reported at approximately R$ 1.4 million per month, down from an initial request of R$ 1.7 million. The deal also includes the settlement of outstanding image-rights and prize-money debts, totaling roughly R$ 7-7.2 million, to be paid in installments. Despite interest and higher financial offers from Orlando City in the United States and Monterrey in Mexico, Calleri chose to remain at the Morumbi.

By mid-August 2026, São Paulo officially announced that the 32-year-old striker has signed a contract extension through December 2028. The agreement includes a clause that could extend his stay until December 2029 if specific sporting milestones are achieved. At the time of signing, Calleri had recorded 91 goals for the club.
