Would you renew these players?
Firstly, we need to think about the 2022 season, SPFC has to think about next year, would you renew these players?
Who are the players?
Defender Rodrigo Freitas, midfielder Willian, midfielder Benitez, and attackers Galeano and Rojas are at the end of their contracts.
Willian and Galeano are injured and are unlikely to have their contracts renewed.
Rodrigo de Freitas wasn't used, Willian wasn't either, they're unlikely to renew their contracts.
Perhaps the biggest doubt is still about Benitez, part of the fans defends his title.
Benitez played some good games this year, but the memories of good games are still with Paulista.
Benitez hasn't performed for a long time.
It's been a long time since he's made an assist, or even a goal.
At first glance it has not been very effective, and has contributed little to the team's results.
Still, part of the fans defends his stay in the tricolor team.
Doubts loom over his physical conditioning, but it seems that Benitez has been training a lot, but has not performed.
I won't go into salary issues, but it seems that if São Paulo Futebol Clube chooses not to renew the players.
Relief on the payroll.
The salary bill could breathe, another player who should leave is striker Éder, who has a high salary and has been little used by the coaches.
Furthermore, Éder has already said that he intends to leave the club at the end of the season.
For a club that needs to ease its payroll, the departure of players who will not have a chance to play is good news.
In Júlio Casares' promises, he promised not to have high-salary players on the bench, and to take advantage of the base.
Now, whether this and other promises will be fulfilled, only time will show.
São Paulo will still have bills to pay in the long term, the agreement with Daniel Alves will still give São Paulo a headache.
Commitment to Daniel Alves.
For a few more years, Daniel Alves will receive the salary of a great São Paulo player. There are 60 installments of R$ 400 thousand.
If he wants to stay with Benitez, the tricolor will have to pay around U$ 3.2 million (around R$ 17 million).
Just like if you want to renew with Galeano, you will need to pay U$ 1 million dollars.
You definitely need to think about whether it’s worth the investment.
Therefore, it is time to think about 2022, the choices made now can be reflected next year, there is the renewal with Arboleda for example.
Ultimately, it is necessary to be aware and responsible at this delicate moment in the club's finances.
