Corinthians has confirmed a departure for the year 2026. After spending more than a decade at the Parque São Jorge club, goalkeeper Cadu said his goodbyes to Timão to sign with Confiança, from Sergipe, with Corinthians retaining 30% of his economic rights. He was the starting goalkeeper for the under-20 team and was expected to be the starter in the next Copinha.

Today I say goodbye to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, after 11 years that deeply marked my personal and professional journey. It was at this club that I was happy, matured as an athlete and as a human being, and lived through achievements and experiences that I will never forget,” the player posted on social media.

Cadu still had a valid contract with Corinthians, but due to limited opportunities, he was released for free. In the under-20s, he had lost his spot to Matheus Corrêa, while in the senior squad he was behind Felipe Longo, Kauê, and Matheus Donelli as backups to Hugo Souza.

“I had the privilege of training alongside my idol and fulfilling the dream of being called up for a professional match, moments that I carry with me as an essential part of my story. I express my sincere gratitude to the club, the staff, my teammates, and everyone who was part of this journey. I leave Corinthians with respect, recognition, and pride for everything this jersey represents. Corinthians will always be present in my story. Thank you for everything”, the player added.

In 2026, Confiança will play in the third division of the Brasileirão, Série C. In addition, the Sergipe club will also compete in the Copa do Nordeste and the Campeonato Sergipano. He will join the team’s professional squad.
