It’s not because the Corinthians is well ahead of schedule to sign Ángel Romero, that the management of the alvinegro club will not look for another piece that works on the sides of the field, especially the right. Timão will remain on the market for at least one more player in the position. And, depending on how the transfer window presents itself, the Parque São Jorge team can buy up to two athletes who play on the sidelines.

The priority of the Corinthians management is to reinforce the team with, at least, one top asset, that player who arrives destroying blocks. In this, old dreams can return to the agenda, like Anderson Talisca and Michael. Timão came to monitor these two athletes recently, but both are stuck in their contracts in the Arab world, which have millionaire fines. With that, at this moment, any new onslaught is seen as impossible by the Corinthians management.
In the case of Talisca, there was a pre-established agreement between Corinthians and the player’s staff, at the end of last year. Anderson had a desire to wear the white mantle, but at the end of the season, Al Nassr paid back wages he had with the striker and prevented him from seeking a unilateral termination. The athlete’s contract with the Saudi Arabian team runs until June 2024.

As for Michael, the player is still unhappy in the Middle East, he wants to return to Brazil, but he sees Al Hilal, the club that owns the player’s rights, playing against him, mainly because he invested more than 8 million dollars (about R$ 45 mi at the time) and doesn’t want to lose that amount. Therefore, the Arab team is not even considering loaning the player, with whom he has a bond until June 2025.
In both situations, the Corinthians management sees hiring as a utopia, unless there is a turnaround that leaves them free in the market. Corinthians will not invest heavily for them.

Another name that recently emerged as a possibility to wear the Corinthians shirt was Artur, from Red Bull Bragantino. However, Timão’s competition with the international market can disrupt the plans of the white-and-white club. The athlete has a poll from a club in Qatar, which, if proposed, could reach 10 million euros (close to R$55 million, at the current price).

According to information obtained by the report, Timão has shown a lot of interest in Argentine football, especially after the hiring of Fausto Vera. In this, a foreign athlete can be chosen to compose the field side of the alvinegro club next year.
