Chasing top form, Garro faces new competition at Corinthians | OneFootball

One of the pillars of Corinthians since he was signed in 2024, Rodrigo Garro has not been performing at the level expected by fans and has lost ground in the Alvinegro squad. He has played in 12 matches this season, starting in seven of them, and coming off the bench in the club’s main fixtures this year. Now, still searching for better performances, the Argentine sees the competition for a starting spot becoming even fiercer.

This is because, last Friday, Corinthians announced the signing of English midfielder Jesse Lingard, who is an attacking midfielder by trade—the same position as Garro. Given the status of the new signing, a former Manchester United player, it is not expected that he will stay on the bench if he manages to show his best on the field, a situation that could further complicate the Argentine’s position.

Before the arrival of the Englishman, Garro was already competing for his spot with Breno Bidon, who has been playing further forward than last year, becoming one of the main playmakers in Dorival Júnior’s team.

He, in fact, started as a first-choice player in all of Corinthians’ main matches so far this season, unlike Garro, who came off the bench in games against Palmeiras, Santos, and Flamengo, in the Supercopa do Brasil final.

Despite being far from the level he has previously shown wearing the Timão shirt, Garro has good numbers and is the club’s standout player in the Brazilian Championship. He has three assists in four matches in the national tournament. He also has one goal in the competition, which secured Alvinegro’s 1-0 victory over Athletico-PR in Curitiba.

On the other hand, in the Campeonato Paulista, he was unable to perform as well and finished the competition without being involved in any goals, having played seven matches.
