Fernando Diniz’s coaching team and Corinthians’ football department will report back at CT Joaquim Grava at 12:00 Brasília time on Wednesday to start preparations for the second half of the season.

Talks over exits will be intensified in the coming weeks, as the club aims to raise €25 million, about R$ 147.6 million, when the transfer window opens on 20 July.

Corinthians face Cascavel away in a friendly on 12 July, then their next competitive fixture is against Remo at Neo Química Arena on 23 July in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
