Corinthians end Héctor Hernández deal, ease wage bill

Corinthians officially announced this Tuesday the agreement for the amicable termination of the contract with forward Héctor Hernández. The measure, which ends the bond between the club and the player, represents significant savings for the club’s coffers, with a reduction of R$ 4.8 million in the men’s football payroll.

Hernández was never able to take advantage of the few opportunities he had at Corinthians. In Dorival Júnior’s debut, the Spaniard scored the winning goal for Timão against Novorizontino, which started the journey towards the Copa do Brasil title.

Low-key spell

Héctor Hernández is close to ending a low-key spell wearing the Corinthians shirt. The Spaniard was signed in 2024 to be a backup for Yuri Alberto, but never proved to be a reliable option in the squad.

In total, he played 24 matches for Timão, with only two goals and one assist. Out of the club’s plans, he has been training separately from his teammates since August of last year and has not played a match for seven months.

Before playing for Corinthians, Héctor played for Atlético de Madrid, Elche, Albacete, Málaga, Fuenlabrada, Cultural Leonesa, and Rayo Majadahonda, all in Spain, as well as Chaves in Portugal.
