Developments: 7. In mid‑July 2026, Paysandu reiterated that right‑back Bruno Limão, who plays for Águia de Marabá, is not the subject of any formal offer and remains with his current club. A week later, centre‑back Luccão completed his move to Portuguese third‑division side Trofense; Paysandu kept roughly 20% of his economic rights, and the contract runs to at least mid‑2027. In early August, the club secured a loan for 24‑year‑old defender Lucas Rodrigues from América‑RN until the end of the 2024 Série C, after which he returns to his parent club. By 6 August, Rodrigues had passed his medical, awaited CBF registration, and expressed that he is “very happy” and ready to help Paysandu achieve promotion. At that time, the team sat sixth on 23 points. By mid-August, Paysandu entered negotiations to loan 26-year-old defender Gustavo Henrique from Portuguesa to further strengthen the squad for the Série C competition. If finalized, the loan could last until the end of 2026, with Paysandu responsible for 100% of the player's wages. While there has been interest in the player from Portuguese football, no concrete proposals have been received from abroad. On 19 August, Paysandu finalized the agreement to sign Gustavo Henrique on loan from Portuguesa-SP for the remainder of the Série C season, with the club assuming full responsibility for his salary. Having passed medical examinations, Henrique has begun training with the squad in São Paulo. He is the third defender signed during this transfer window, joining Pedro Carrerette and Lucas Rodrigues as the team competes for a position in the Série C quadrangular stage. On 3 September, Paysandu confirmed the signing of 30-year-old left-back Renan Castro on loan from Guarani until the end of the season. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Paysandu signs Renan Castro to bolster Série C squad Paysandu has signed left-back Renan Castro on loan from Guarani to strengthen its squad for the Série C quadrangular stage and the push for promotion to Série B. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-signs-renan-castro-to-bolster-srie-c-squad ### 2026-08-19: Paysandu signs defender Gustavo Henrique on loan Paysandu has signed defender Gustavo Henrique on loan from Portuguesa-SP to strengthen their defense for the remainder of the Série C season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-signs-defender-gustavo-henrique-on-loan ### 2026-08-16: Paysandu negotiates loan for Portuguesa defender Gustavo Henrique Paysandu is negotiating a loan deal for Portuguesa defender Gustavo Henrique to bolster its squad for the Brazilian Série C. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-negotiates-loan-for-portuguesa-defender-gustavo-henrique ### 2026-08-06: Lucas Rodrigues signs with Paysandu as club pushes for Serie C promotion Lucas Rodrigues, 24, has signed with Paysandu until season’s end, completed his medical and is set to debut against Confiança as the club chases Serie C promotion. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lucas-rodrigues-signs-with-paysandu-as-club-pushes-for-serie-c-promotion ### 2026-08-02: Paysandu secures loan of defender Lucas Rodrigues from América‑RN for Série C Lucas Rodrigues, 24‑year‑old defender, joins Paysandu on loan from América‑RN until the end of Série C, then returns to his parent club. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-secures-loan-of-defender-lucas-rodrigues-from-amricarn-for-srie-c ### 2026-07-22: Paysandu defender Luccão joins Portuguese club Trofense Paysandu’s 23‑year‑old defender Luccão signs with Portugal’s Trofense until 2027, with the Brazilian club keeping about 20 % of his economic rights. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-defender-lucco-joins-portuguese-club-trofense ### 2026-07-15: Paysandu confirms no contract for defender Bruno Limão Paysandu says there is no contract or advanced talks with Águia de Marabá right‑back Bruno Limão, who remains with his current club. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/paysandu-confirms-no-contract-for-defender-bruno-limo --- Cite as: Paysandu defender transfer activity.
