São Paulo club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 13 players club-trained at São Paulo now play for other clubs we track, led by Gabriel Sara (Galatasaray, value €31m), Juan (Göztepe, value €26m) and Lucas Beraldo (Paris Saint Germain, value €21m).

• Gabriel Sara · Galatasaray · €31m

• David Neres · Napoli · €19m
• Lucas Perri · Torino · €10m
• Rodriguinho · Bragantino · €5m

• Matheus Reis · Sporting CP · €2m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
