Corinthians sign goalkeeper and striker to bolster the under-20 squad | OneFootball

Corinthians have strengthened their Under-20 squad with the arrival of two new players: goalkeeper Ricardo Schultz, 18 (born in 2008), and forward Gustavo Henrique, 19 (born in 2007). The signing of the keeper was initially reported by journalist Pedro Ramiro and confirmed by Central do Timão.

Ricardo came through Grêmio’s youth ranks, playing between the Under-15 and Under-17 levels, before moving to Fortaleza at the start of 2025. For the club from Ceará, he made three official appearances. The expectation is that he will sign a three-season contract. Internally, the board sees the youngster’s arrival as an investment for the future, especially due to the lack of an established name in the 2007 and 2008 age groups.

Gustavo Henrique, meanwhile, had his signing revealed by Rádio TMC and later confirmed by Central do Timão. The forward spent time with Red Bull Bragantino’s Under-17 team and also had experience at Austria’s Red Bull Salzburg. He then played for América Mineiro’s Under-20 side, where he featured in the 2026 Copinha, scoring one goal in five matches. In total, he made 33 appearances and scored eight goals for the Minas Gerais club. His expected contract is for two seasons.

Both players are already training with the group led by William Batista and are awaiting registration in the Brazilian Football Confederation’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID), which could happen later this week.

Currently, Corinthians’ Under-20 team are competing in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, sitting sixth with 12 points. In addition, the team are preparing for the start of the Paulista Under-20 Championship, scheduled for the end of May.
