Throughout the afternoon this Friday (10), Corinthians registered in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID) the contract termination of forward João Saccá, born in 2006, who turned 20 years old at the beginning of March. The player arrived at Parque São Jorge at the start of president Augusto Melo’s administration, in January 2024, who would be removed from office a year and a half later. The general director of Corinthians’ youth academy at the time was Claudinei Alves.
During nearly two years at Corinthians, the center forward did not take the field for the Under-20 team, spending most of his time with the Under-18/Under-20B side, a category permanently discontinued at the beginning of 2026. During the 2025 and 2026 Copas São Paulo de Futebol Júnior, respectively, he was loaned to Votoraty and Assissense. For the first team, he did not score. This year, he found the net once in two matches in the competition.

The player was part of a list of 31 athletes who were training separately in Corinthians’ youth ranks and, consequently, were not in the club’s plans. Of those, the following still remain at Parque São Jorge: Ygor Lessa, Kaio Vinicius, Yago Cândido, Teixeirão, Lucas Gabriel, Felipe Romio, Kawê Klayver and Léo Agostinho. The first and fifth names mentioned are recovering from injuries in the club’s facilities.
