Brazil's financial capital will this week be at the centre of the crazy and chaotic world that is the football transfer market.
Representatives of global superclubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool are among those to have descended on Sao Paulo for the latest transfer 'speed-dating' event, which takes place over the next two days.
Picture it now: On table 12, an agent is discussing his player, who wants to leave his current side, with a potential suitor. Two rows down, a club is wrapping up a transfer for one of their key targets, and next to them a conversation is underway which could lead to a big-money move in the future.
