Lewis is taking the opposite journey, with the Northern Ireland international going to Sao Paulo on loan from Newcastle United.
"When I heard about this opportunity, I immediately told my agent that I wanted to come to Brazil," he stated.
"It’s an honor to play for a giant like São Paulo and to be the first British player in the club’s history.
"I’m really excited to play for a club that has won three World Cups. It’s an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I’m looking forward to meeting the fans and contributing to the team."
