Negotiations over Tetê
Ajax has expressed interest in a new left‑winger by contacting São Paulo. The club had proposed an initial loan agreement: a rent of €500,000 per year, with an optional purchase price of €10 million after one year. Upon agreement, Ajax would hold 80 % of the transfer rights.
São Paulo’s Proposal
São Paulo, however, has taken a hard line. The club prefers a permanent transfer of Tetê. They are now open to a loan structure, but only with a ‘significantly higher’ salary than in the initial proposal. Negotiations are still ongoing, but both parties know an agreement is difficult at present.
Current Status
Negotiations over Tetê have cooled. São Paulo has made clear that the loan structure is no longer acceptable without a higher salary. Ajax continues the talks, but the likelihood of a definitive agreement is slim. It remains unclear whether the club will seek another left‑winger or wait for a better offer.
Concrete Detail
Ajax’s first proposal included a one‑year loan with an optional purchase option of €10 million, giving the club 80 % of the transfer rights. São Paulo now requires a higher salary to consider a loan, further reducing the chance of a deal.
