Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Iago, 29, left Bahia in August to join São Paulo on loan until the end of the season, with no option to buy. The left-back has impressed with his personality and quick adaptation to the team, coming in to compete with Wendell for a spot after Enzo Díaz's departure. Iago has already started two games for São Paulo, scoring an assist in his debut against Bolívar in the Sul-Americana.
Iago's recent form has increased competition for a spot in the left-back position, with Wendell also struggling to secure a starting place. Wendell has had five consecutive starts this season, but has only played 27 games, scoring three assists. The São Paulo vs Red Bull Bragantino match has become crucial for the team, who have not won in ten Brasileirão matches and are currently 13th in the table.
