Goalkeeper leaves Corinthians after contract ends: "Affection remains"

By Vinícios Cotrim | Central do Timão Editorial Team

Corinthians finished as runners-up to Palmeiras in the final of the Women’s Paulista Championship. With the end of the season, the Brabas are expected to restructure some positions in the squad, including the already announced departure of Mariza and now Kemelli, who has stated that she has already signed with another club.

“It’s painful. Unfortunately, sometimes cycles come to an end. I’m also not getting much playing time and I know my potential, I really want to play. I really want to, who knows, fight for a spot in the National Team. I’m still young. My heart aches, because Corinthians was my home for five years. Here I learned how to win, I became a much better goalkeeper and person. The affection remains, the love, and who knows, maybe in the future we’ll meet again. I thank you for these years, I thank all the fans for their affection, for every bit of pressure. Dedication was never lacking… And I will always respect and love this club very much,” said the goalkeeper in the mixed zone at Canindé.

According to Meu Timão, Kemelli is expected to be announced by Fluminense for the 2026 season, leaving Nicole Ramos and Lelê – who renewed their contracts in recent weeks – as the main goalkeepers in the squad. With this, Rillary, from the youth academy, is expected to be promoted as the Brabas’ third goalkeeper.

As mentioned, Corinthians has confirmed the departure of Mariza, who is expected to play in Mexican football starting next year. She leaves Parque São Jorge on a free transfer, even though she is a Brazilian National Team player and an undisputed starter. The goalkeeper will also switch clubs without generating any transfer fee for Timão.

In addition to the confirmed departures and the announced renewals of Lelê, Tamires, Nicole Ramos, and Gi Fernandes, Corinthians is still in talks with other players. Even with the season over and contracts ending soon, Erika, Paulinha, Gabi Zanotti, Letícia Santos, and Eudimilla are still in negotiations.
