According to a report from ESPN BR, Luiz Gustavo will not remain at São Paulo for 2026. The report indicates the club's reasons are that the 38-year-old midfielder is advanced in age, has a high injury history, and receives one of the highest salaries in the squad.

According to people interviewed for a report, it is very likely that midfielder Luiz Gustavo, who receives a high salary, will not stay for next year.

Luiz Gustavo is likely to extend his career by one more year, but not at São Paulo.

Luiz Gustavo will only make personal decisions about his future at the end of the Brasileirão. There was uncertainty about his continuation in the sport after a pulmonary thromboembolism. It is possible Luiz Gustavo may extend his career for a few more months.
