With the Copa Libertadores just around the corner, São Paulo have already submitted their squad for the competition, including James Rodríguez. The Colombian was on the verge of leaving the club at the beginning of the year, but his situation took a huge twist and now he’s part of Thiago Carpini’s plans.

In addition to the former Real Madrid player, the roster includes big names such as Lucas Moura and Jonathan Calleri, among other figures. There’s also a strong presence of academy players: Leandro, Paulo Sérgio, Ryan Francisco, Matheus Alves, Igor Felisberto, Felipe Preis, Guilherme Reis, Osório, Cauã Lucca, João Pedro, Lucas Loss, Lucas Ferreira, Faisal, and João Gabriel.
