Gustavo Henrique nears personal goals record, grows at Corinthians in 2026 | OneFootball

Center-back Gustavo Henrique is enjoying a standout season for Corinthians and is close to reaching one of the best offensive marks of his career. A frequent starter for the black-and-white side, the defender has already scored four goals in 2026 and is nearing his highest number of goals in a single year.

The player’s best scoring mark came in 2019, when he was still playing for Santos. On that occasion, Gustavo Henrique scored five goals during the season. With just one more goal for Corinthians, the center-back will match that performance.

In addition to his presence in defense, the No. 13 has also been used frequently by Fernando Diniz. In 2026, the defender has already played 30 matches for the club and is nine games away from matching the number of appearances he made last season, when he took the field 39 times.

The run of games reinforces Gustavo Henrique’s importance in the Corinthians squad, which counts on the center-back as one of its main defensive options. At 33, the player is looking to improve his individual numbers while helping Corinthians in this season’s competitions.

Signed by the club in 2024, Gustavo Henrique has made important contributions since his arrival at Parque São Jorge and remains one of the most-used players in the team’s defensive system.
