Part 4/5:
The scouting department, under the direction of Zubeldía, is actively analyzing various players. While no significant advances have been made in negotiating deals for a midfield player, the arrival of Wendel allows the club to expedite their search for a number 10.
Financial Considerations and Future Moves
Financial realities are shaping São Paulo’s strategies as they move forward in their recruitment plans. Currently operating under a tight budget, they aim to add only two new players due to their budget cap.
The situation looks fraught yet hopeful; if they can free up salary space by letting go of unused players, this can lead to more aggressive reinforcements. Thiago Mendes, who is also in the mix, may be an option if the club can negotiate his release from Al Rayyan.
