“Like an owl that flew far in search of a home, I found a place for my heart to live.” And Tricolor is Calleri’s home, as he has renewed his contract with the club until December 31, 2028, with an option to extend it through the end of 2029 based on a sporting target — his previous deal was valid until December 31, 2026.
Champion of the 2023 Copa do Brasil and the 2024 Supercopa do Brasil, Jonathan Calleri has built a journey marked by goals and countless demonstrations of love for São Paulo across his two spells at the club.
“I’m very happy and very grateful to the São Paulo fans. I’m very happy to stay with you for two more years. I hope to bring great joy to our supporters,” celebrated the 32-year-old Argentine center forward.
After a short spell in 2016, when he was a semifinalist and top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores with nine goals, the striker returned in August 2021 to reaffirm his connection with the São Paulo fans.
Calleri has made 262 appearances for Tricolor, with 91 goals and 30 assists, and has racked up a number of scoring marks: São Paulo’s top scorer this season (12 goals so far), São Paulo’s all-time top scorer in the CONMEBOL Libertadores (14 goals), MorumBIS’ highest-scoring foreign player (54 goals), the highest-scoring foreign player in the Brazilian Championship (47 goals), and the highest-scoring foreign player in knockout matches (14 goals). He is also the club’s second-highest foreign scorer overall (91 goals), third-highest scorer in international competitions (17 goals), and fourth-highest scorer for Tricolor in the 21st century (91 goals).
