Corinthians line up Luiz Fábio ‘Favela’ loan to Maltese club | OneFootball

Corinthians have agreed to loan forward Luiz Fábio, known as Favela, to Żabbar St. Patrick of Malta. The player, who is part of Timão’s under-20 squad, was informed of the move this Thursday and is expected to leave Brazil in the coming days.

At 19 years old, the youngster will be loaned to the Maltese club for one season. The idea is for the striker to have the opportunity to play professional football and gain experience during his time away from Corinthians. The information comes from Ge.

Favela has been involved in the black-and-white under-20 team’s schedule this season. In total, the forward has played 30 matches, scored three goals, and provided one assist. Of those three goals, two came during the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.

The forward joined Corinthians in 2025 after spells with Taboão da Serra, Barra-SC, and Capivariano. Since then, he has been part of the club’s development system and will now have his first experience in professional football outside Brazil.

Favela’s link with Corinthians remains valid during the loan period. The player’s contract with Timão runs until February 2029.

The move to Malta therefore represents an opportunity for the striker to gain minutes and experience in professional football. At the end of the loan spell, Favela will remain tied to Corinthians, the club that holds his contract.
