Corinthians confirm contract extension for Colombian forward | OneFootball

A few hours after her new contract was published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation, Corinthians officially announced on its communication channels the extension of forward Gisela Robledo’s contract until August 2027. The Colombian’s deal with Timão had been set to expire next Monday (31).

In the statement announcing the renewal, Corinthians confirmed that her stay was made possible thanks to financial support from Fatal Fans, a club sponsor since the middle of this year. Starting on August 10, Alvinegro began passing on funds to its other sports, such as basketball and futsal, which helped unblock the negotiations.

The main obstacle to keeping the No. 7 at Parque São Jorge had been financial issues, as the club is going through an institutional scenario marked by high debt, which has led to delayed payments in both the men’s and women’s departments. Speaking to the press last Wednesday (26), Emily Lima had revealed that the player would remain at the club shortly after Timão’s 6-2 rout of Taubaté at Fazendinha, in the seventh and final round of the Paulista championship’s classification stage.

Corinthians and Gisela Robledo had been discussing a renewal since the first half of this season. At the time, the player’s representatives were seeking a plan that would guarantee Gisela a bigger role at Alvinegro. At the same time, she was receiving offers from abroad.

The Colombian joined Corinthians in August 2024, after ending her spell with Tenerife in Spain, having also previously played for Atlas, América de Cali-COL, and Independiente Santa Fé-COL. Wearing the Corinthians shirt, she has scored six goals and provided nine assists in 63 appearances for Timão. In total, she has won three trophies with the club from Parque São Jorge: the Women’s Libertadores (2024 and 2025) and the Brazilian Championship (2025), making her the foreign player with the most appearances for Timão.

Now that Gisela Robledo’s stay has been settled, Corinthians will return to action next Monday (31) at 7:15 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Independência, in Minas Gerais, for the first leg of the Brazilian Championship quarterfinals. The second match, meanwhile, will be on September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day holiday, at 5 p.m. It has not yet been decided whether it will be held at Neo Química Arena or Alfredo Schürig Stadium. The Brabas are the tournament’s biggest winners with seven titles – 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025.
