ESPN BR reports that Cédric Soares is one of five players outside of Dorival's plans at São Paulo and has been released for negotiation. He is training separately from the squad and has no chance of being reintegrated.

ESPN BR reports that São Paulo has released Cédric Soares to look for another club. Cédric has a contract until the end of 2027 and has been allowed to seek a new destination to trim the squad and reduce the wage bill. He is not in the plans of Dorival's coaching staff.

Portuguese right-back Cédric Soares, 34, has a contract with São Paulo until December 2027 but is expected to be released to find a new club. Cédric Soares's role in the team was reduced after the arrival of Lucas Ramon at the beginning of the season, and Moreira became more favored under Dorival Júnior. The defender, who has 34 caps and one goal for Portugal, joined the Brazilian club in January 2025 and made 8 appearances in the Série A during the 2025/2026 season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €500k.
