Corinthians backtrack in talks with Bahia over Kayky | OneFootball

Corinthians has pulled back in negotiations with Bahia for the loan of forward Kayky, 22 years old. The information was initially published by Uol and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Kayky was initially offered to Timão. The deal would be for a one-season loan. People close to the player were optimistic, but the alvinegro club retreated due to a legal issue involving Bahia.

Last year, Corinthians took action against Tricolor de Aço at the CNRD (National Chamber for Dispute Resolution) over the Kauê Furquim case. The Timão board claims that the Northeastern club lured the young player. Therefore, the club does not intend to open talks with the Bahia rival while the process is pending in higher authorities.

Kayky would have been Corinthians’ fifth reinforcement for the 2026 season. The club has already confirmed the arrivals of Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Pereira, Pedro Milans, and Kaio Cézar.

Timão remains in the market searching for another pacey forward. Coach Dorival Júnior believes the squad needs “five or six” more players to handle the extensive schedule.
