Corinthians struggle to renew contracts as deadlines loom | OneFootball

The Corinthians have been encountering difficulties in renewing contracts for players whose terms are nearing their end. The club's management is interested in retaining midfielder Maycon and left-back Fabrizio Angileri, whose contracts are valid until the end of this season, but they have not yet managed to make progress in the negotiations.

The Timão opened talks to renew with Angileri in September, but have not reached an agreement yet. The negotiations are currently stalled.

In Maycon's case, the Corinthians are hindered by the club's debt to Shakhtar Donetsk, from Ukraine. Timão has not yet paid R$ 6.76 million to the Ukrainians for the player's loan. This debt resulted in a FIFA ruling against them.

Therefore, before extending Maycon's loan, the team from Parque São Jorge would have to reach an agreement with Shakhtar.

And the duo?

Besides Maycon and Angileri, other players whose contracts are ending with Corinthians are Talles Magno and Romero. The duo's contracts will expire at the end of this year.

Talles is on loan from New York City, USA. Therefore, Corinthians would need to purchase him outright or negotiate a new loan if they wish to keep him in the squad. Currently, this possibility is seen as unlikely.

Romero's case is similar. However, the Paraguayan belongs to Timão. Thus, it is up to the management to decide whether or not it is worth offering a contract extension.

Gazeta Esportiva has learned that Corinthians, initially, does not intend to renew with the player.
