Corinthians eye move for Ana Vitória, Atlético de Madrid midfielder | OneFootball

Corinthians is monitoring a new name to strengthen the midfield of the women's team starting in 2026. The player in question is Ana Vitória, 25 years old, who currently plays for Atlético de Madrid in Spain and is frequently called up to the Brazilian National Team.

According to a report by the Meninas do Timão portal, the topic is being treated optimistically internally, although there is still no concrete definition regarding the negotiation. There is also no certainty about the timing of a possible arrival, which could happen at the beginning or during the season. The athlete has a contract with the Spanish club until June 2026.

The possible signing comes as a response to a clear need in the squad. At the moment, Corinthians only has Dayana Rodríguez as a natural defensive midfielder, resorting to adaptations, such as Duda Sampaio and other players, to fill the role throughout the year.

If the deal goes through, Ana Vitória will return to Parque São Jorge for her second stint at the club. Between 2017 and 2018, the midfielder played 57 matches for Corinthians, scored eight goals, provided three assists, and took part in winning the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores.

After leaving Timão, the player built her career in European football, playing for Benfica in Portugal and Paris Saint-Germain in France, before joining Atlético de Madrid. With the Brazilian National Team, she was part of the squad that finished as Olympic runners-up in Paris in 2024, and also played in the 2023 World Cup. In 2025, she missed out on the Copa América due to an injury.

In the current European season, according to data from the Ogol website, Ana Vitória has played 17 matches for Atlético de Madrid, 11 in the Spanish League and six in the Champions League. The midfielder was on the field this Wednesday in the 4-0 defeat to Lyon in the continental competition. The Spanish team's next match will be against Manchester United in February, in a decisive clash for a spot in the quarterfinals.
