Whilst Juninho, 22, was only on loan at the West coast club, the hope was they could retain the player’s services for the 2012 season.
However, with the player’s impressive performances in the MLS it appears São Paulo have raised their interest in the player and renewed his deal for another three years.
Juninho made thirty-three appearances in the victorious 2011 MLS campaign, scoring four times in his second year at the club.
