Among the clubs in the Série A of the Brazilian Championship, Corinthians is the sixth most expensive squad, valued at 125.65 million euros (R$ 790.16 million).

The survey conducted by the tool was released by ESPN Brasil. Furthermore, according to the platform, the Brazilian Championship ranks sixth among the most valuable tournaments in the world, scoring 77.3 points, surpassed only by: England, Spain, Germany, Italy, and France.

So far, Corinthians has not announced any signings and is awaiting the formal lifting of the transfer ban by FIFA to announce its first reinforcement. The name in question is expected to be the defender Gabriel Paulista, 35 years old, who was playing in Turkish football and has arrived in São Paulo for medical exams and contract signing.

On the other hand, the club has already parted ways with: right-back Fagner (contract terminated, signed permanently with Cruzeiro), midfielder Maycon (Atlético-MG), as well as forwards Talles Magno (loan not renewed with New York City, USA) and Ángel Romero (contract not renewed). Defender Félix Torres is expected to be next, as he is being loaned to Internacional until the end of 2026, with a purchase option.
