Corinthians await Maycon’s decision, talks ongoing with Angileri

By Leonardo Rodrigues and Vinícios Cotrim | Central do Timão Editorial Team

In an effort to maintain the squad that won the Copa do Brasil and Paulistão, Corinthians is in negotiations to renew contracts with two players: Maycon and Fabrizio Angileri, whose contracts ended at the end of 2025.

The midfielder belongs to Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine, which agreed to loan the player to Corinthians for free, retaining 50% of the economic rights. However, Atlético-MG also made an offer for the player, which pleased the Ukrainian club, offering a three-year contract, providing more time for a future sale.

The management matched Galo's offer but fell short on the salary conditions and now depends solely on the player to sign the new contract. The proximity to his wife's family in Minas Gerais also influences the decision, as Lyanco, Maycon's brother-in-law, plays for Atlético-MG.

Timão has reached an agreement to settle an approximate debt of 1 million euros (around R$ 6.5 million) with Shakhtar, related to the player's previous loans, which began in 2022. The outstanding amount, however, does not hinder the negotiation and is being handled separately.

Regarding the Argentine full-back, the club is in ongoing negotiations for a contract renewal, as confirmed by Corinthians during the squad's re-presentation on January 3. Currently, Corinthians has two players for the position: Matheus Bidu and Hugo Farias.

Currently, Corinthians faces market restrictions due to two transfer bans, one imposed by FIFA and another by CBF. The management is working to settle, in the coming days, FIFA's ruling for the R$ 40 million debt with Santos Laguna, from Mexico, for the signing of defender Félix Torres, in addition to the third installment of an agreement made in the National Dispute Resolution Chamber (CNRD) of CBF.
