(UOL/FOLHAPRESS) - São Paulo reached a verbal agreement with Aurélio Buta and is very close to announcing its fourth reinforcement for the remainder of the season.

The report found that all that remains is for the exchange of documentation between the parties to sign the contract, scheduled for the next few hours. The club is just waiting for documentation from Portugal to be processed.

The negotiations were concluded by the pair of interim directors of São Paulo, former captain Rafinha and lawyer Felipe Carvalho. Both took over the reins of the department after the dismissal of former executive Rui Costa last month.

Free on the market after the end of his contract with Eintracht Frankfurt, from Germany, the 29-year-old right-back accepted São Paulo's proposal.

The contract will be valid for one season. With the verbal agreement concluded, the expectation is that the bureaucracy will be finalized in the next few hours so that the hiring can be made official.

Born in Angola, Aurélio Buta was revealed by Benfica and built practically his entire career in European football. In addition to his time at Eintracht Frankfurt, he also played for Royal Antwerp, from Belgium, Stade de Reims, from France, and, more recently, FC Copenhagen, from Denmark, where he played on loan in the final stretch of last season.

CHANGE ON THE SIDE

The arrival of Aurélio Buta comes amid the process of reformulating the squad led by São Paulo this window.

As UOL showed, Cédric Soares is out of the plans for the rest of the season and has been training at alternative times at the Barra Funda CT. The board agrees to negotiate him permanently or even on loan and has already included him in conversations for other negotiations.

With the success of Aurélio Buta, São Paulo reaches its fourth reinforcement for the second half. Before him, the club had already signed Victor Sá, Newton and Domingos Duarte, all requests from Dorival Júnior's technical committee to strengthen the squad following the season.
