São Paulo is engaged in active negotiations to acquire Cristian Medina from Estudiantes. The club is considering the addition of another midfielder, contingent on the deal being financially viable. ESPN reports that while São Paulo's primary focus is on securing a new defender, they are also interested in bringing the 23-year-old Argentinian onto their team, as long as the financial conditions are favorable. With the transfer window closing on September 2, São Paulo has a limited period to complete the transaction. The potential signing of Medina is part of a larger strategy to enhance the squad, which includes efforts to recruit a defender and a right-back. Medina's current contract with Estudiantes is valid until December 2029, and Transfermarkt values him at €8.00m.
