San Paolo will start the pre-season with an excess of goalkeepers in their squad. With the signing of Rafael, coach Rogério Ceni will have at least four options to defend the team’s goal in 2023 and will probably have to define the departure of at least one of these archers.
The goalkeeper trio of São Paulo in 2022 consisted of Felipe Alves, Jandrei and Thiago Couto. With the arrival of Rafael, who is expected to be next season’s probable starter, one of the remaining 2022 players could leave the club, either permanently or on loan.
Because he is young and needs to be filmed, Thiago Couto appears as a potential player to be loaned to a minor club, where he can be a regular, gain more experience and, who knows, return to San Paolo in the future, more ready for new opportunities .
Jandrei, who was a regular at San Paolo at certain times last season, could even end up moving to another club in search of more minutes on the pitch, as he arrived at the Tricolore with high expectations of finally establishing himself as a goalkeeper.
Felipe Alves is favored by having established himself as a regular at São Paulo after Jandrei’s swings and having important performances in the season finale, such as the derby against Palmeiras, at the Allianz Parque, in which he was decisive to keep the 0 -0 on the board.
There are also other young goalkeepers who eventually worked with the pro squad, such as Young and Rokenedy. Both were brought on by coach Rogério Ceni for a few matches, but did not make any appearances.
