The club have loaned 20-year-old midfielder Luiz Eduardo to Santos for one year. He had slipped down the pecking order in the under-20 side coached by William Batista.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old forward João Guilherme Drude has ended his Corinthians contract by mutual agreement after requesting to continue treatment for a right-foot injury away from Parque São Jorge.

Despite his departure, the club retained 10% of the player’s economic rights.
