São Paulo FC youth transfer activity

In mid‑July 2026 São Paulo FC’s 19‑year‑old forward Lucca Marques attracted interest from several European clubs, including FC Porto, Ajax and PSV. Porto proposed signing him for its B team with a view to promotion, while the Dutch sides highlighted his versatility. São Paulo indicated openness to negotiations but had not received any formal offers, and no transfer was confirmed.

Two weeks later the club rejected a €10 million bid from Udinese for another 19‑year‑old player, centre‑back Luis Osório, citing timing and the expectation that his market value could increase with more playing time. São Paulo’s officials pointed to ongoing financial pressures and a transfer ban linked to delayed payments, while stressing that the club remained receptive to future offers. Together, the snapshots show São Paulo FC actively managing interest in its young talents, balancing immediate financial needs with the prospect of higher future returns.
