Lucas Ferreira, an 18-year-old winger who graduated from the São Paulo academy, is reportedly being pursued by Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk, as mentioned by journalist Daniel Perrone. Although São Paulo initially appears reluctant to sell him, their partnership with Bayer's youth structures might play a role in changing their stance. Ferreira's contract with São Paulo is valid until the summer of 2028, and it includes a release clause for national clubs set at around 40 million Brazilian reals, which is approximately 6 million euros. Besides Shakhtar, German club Bayer has also shown interest in Ferreira, which introduces a competitive aspect to the potential transfer talks. Ferreira has already showcased his talent by participating in 7 matches for São Paulo's first team, with 3 of those appearances being in the Brazilian Serie A.
