Corinthians scan the market amid transfer ban, reinforcements lined up | OneFootball

Corinthians has not yet managed to lift the transfer ban imposed by FIFA. Despite this, the club's management, now officially led by Osmar Stabile, is already scouting the market for reinforcements and has some signings lined up.

Gazeta Esportiva has learned that four players are being monitored and have already begun negotiations with the club. They were evaluated by the scouting department, led by manager Renan Bloise.

According to information obtained by the report, Corinthians plans to close deals with at least two of these athletes as soon as the club manages to lift the transfer ban. Corinthians is counting on FIFA mediation to reach an agreement with Santos Laguna and pay off the debt.

Despite being active in the market, Corinthians will not make reckless signings. The management intends to sign players who are free agents, as was the case with Vitinho, or take advantage of market opportunities. Proof of this is that, in a press conference at Parque São Jorge, Osmar Stabile said that it is possible to build championship teams with "modest" squads.

"I've been here for many years. I've seen Corinthians rise from the ashes. We've won many tournaments with modest teams. What matters to Corinthians is grit and determination, willpower. That's what we'll do from now on. If we have the opportunity, we'll take it. That's what I pass on to the players, Fabinho Soldado also talks to them. We lost to Bahia, but we didn't deserve to. That's how it will be from now on, the players are confident. We're sure that a modest team can be champions," said the president.

North American winger is on his way

Among these four names in talks with the club, one is well on his way. It's 23-year-old North American winger Agustín Anello, who plays for Boston River in Uruguay. He is the son of Argentines, but was born in the United States and has even played for the country's U-23 team.

The winger is a divisive figure within the management. Internally, some members of the Corinthians' top brass doubt whether Agustín would be able to help the team, given that he is an unknown name.

However, the player fits the profile requested by coach Dorival Júnior. He is right-footed and usually plays on the left side of the field.

In addition to the attack, a priority for Dorival, Corinthians is also not ruling out reinforcing the right-back position. With Léo Mana's departure on loan to Criciúma, the club is left with only Matheuzinho for the role. Félix Torres has been the reserve in an improvised manner, but does not please the fans.

The transfer window in Brazilian territory ends on September 2. There is concern that, given the short deadline, Corinthians will not be able to lift the transfer ban and bring in reinforcements on time. So far, the club has made only two signings in 2025: left-back Angileri and striker Vitinho.
