According to Globo.com, Joaquín Correa was offered by Botafogo in talks for a possible swap with São Paulo for Ferraresi and Pablo Maia, but the high salary of the Argentine prevented the deal from proceeding.

As part of ongoing player exchange negotiations with Botafogo, São Paulo requested 31-year-old Argentinian attacker Joaquín Correa. The talks were initially a single package deal before being split into three separate negotiations. Due to a lack of progress, São Paulo has become more pessimistic about the possibility of the exchanges being completed.
