Corinthians loan defender Félix Torres to Internacional, check the details

Félix Torres is the new addition to Internacional. The defender, loaned by Corinthians to Colorado, was announced this Sunday afternoon and signed a contract until December 31, 2026.

“FÉLIX TORRES IS THE NEW DEFENDER OF THE PEOPLE'S CLUB! Starter for Ecuador in the 2022 World Cup, the 29-year-old athlete arrives on loan until December 31, 2026,” Inter posted on social media.

Félix Torres bid farewell to the alvinegro squad last Wednesday. The Ecuadorian was not in the plans of coach Dorival Júnior and, with the arrival of Gabriel Paulista, he would likely have little playing time with the Timão jersey.

The defender, who has a valid contract with Corinthians until the end of 2027, did not establish himself in the alvinegro team and had been receiving few opportunities.

He was signed by Timão from Santos Laguna at the beginning of 2024 for around R$ 31 million. The club, however, did not pay the Mexicans and saw the debt result in a transfer ban from FIFA. The amount was settled at the beginning of this season, and the sanction was lifted.

Participation of Fabinho Soldado

The negotiations involved the participation of Fabinho Soldado, former executive of Corinthians and current director of Internacional. He was aware that Timão wanted to negotiate Félix Torres and saw in the Ecuadorian the possibility of strengthening the Colorado defense, weakened by Vitão's departure to Flamengo.

Fabinho believes that the defender's image was tarnished in the São Paulo team, but he can recover his football in the South.
