São Paulo changes strategy for Newton after impasse in the exchange for Ferraresi

São Paulo changed plans in an attempt to sign Newton. The negotiation that involved an exchange with Botafogo, with Ferraresi as part of the operation, lost momentum and began to be conducted independently. Despite the change in format, Tricolor remains interested in signing the midfielder.

Conversations between the clubs continue, but, so far, there is no agreement signed. The São Paulo board treats Newton's arrival as a separate operation from Ferraresi's situation.

The exchange cooled down after impasses involving the Venezuelan defender. According to ESPN, disagreements with the player's representatives made it difficult for negotiations to move forward.

Itatiaia's investigation indicates that Ferraresi still has glove values to receive from São Paulo, and one of the discussions was to define which club would assume this obligation. The defender showed no interest in leaving Morumbi permanently without the guarantee that he would receive the outstanding amounts.

Even with the setback in the exchange, Newton remains on São Paulo's radar. The midfielder lost space under the command of Franclim Carvalho at Botafogo and began to be seen as a market option in this transfer window.

In the season, the player played 18 matches and scored one goal. In the last two months, however, he has only entered the field five times. With seven games in the Brazilian Championship, Newton can still defend another Serie A team in this edition of the competition.

In addition to acting as a midfielder, the athlete can also be used as a defender, a characteristic that pleases the coaching staff. São Paulo is looking for reinforcements precisely for these two sectors and sees the Botafogo player as an alternative to expand the squad's options.
