Overview
- São Paulo announced Saturday that Artur, 28, has joined on loan through December after he arrived, signed, and completed medicals.
- The deal includes a clause that, if a foreign offer arrives before year-end, obliges São Paulo to either pay €6 million for 60% of his economic rights or release him.
- The clubs will share his wages during the loan, with local reports saying São Paulo covers 60% and Botafogo 40%.
- He is set to add pace on the wing as cover for Lucas Moura, who has rib fractures and is expected to miss about two months.
- Botafogo bought Artur from Zenit in 2025 for about €10 million, and he made roughly 60 appearances with 10 goals and 5 assists for the Rio club.
