São Paulo does not have any open negotiations for 32-year-old attacking midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, who is at Atlético-MG. ESPN reports that the club is avoiding any business at this time due to an ongoing political crisis, which creates uncertainty about the permanence of the board. The club's financial situation is another obstacle, as it currently does not have money for transfer fees. The uncertain future of manager Roger Machado also complicates the search for new players. If São Paulo were to start looking for players, it would be to seek free agents or loan deals that include an option to buy for the following year. The Brazilian international, who has one cap for his country, has a contract with Atlético-MG until December 2027. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €5.00m.
