However, the player changed his mind and decided to stay at São Paulo. His return was planned for a supposed knockout phase of the Paulistão when the club could register new players.
However, with the injury of midfielder Luiz Gustavo, which will likely keep him out of the remainder of the state tournament, a spot opened up in the squad for the registration of the Colombian. He has been included and listed for São Paulo’s next match in the competition against Inter de Limeira.
It’s worth noting that the 32-year-old midfielder arrived at São Paulo in mid-2023 and played in only 14 games for the team, scoring one goal and providing three assists. He lost his place in the team towards the end of the season under Dorival Junior’s leadership.
