The English midfielder Jesse Lingard landed on Sunday morning at Guarulhos International Airport to make his arrival at Corinthians official. The agreement, which is set to last until the end of 2026, now depends only on the completion and approval of medical exams to be confirmed.

Upon his arrival, the former Manchester United player said that his physical condition is “very good” and revealed that he is excited about the new challenge.

Details of the negotiation

The Englishman’s name was offered to the Corinthians board, who consulted Dorival Júnior. The coach gave the green light for the midfielder’s arrival. The club then began negotiations with the player’s agents through executive Marcelo Paz.

Initially, the athlete’s staff demanded the payment of a transfer fee, but the club’s management stood firm. The midfielder’s representatives relented and accepted the conditions proposed by the club. The parties have already agreed on the salary amount and are discussing final details, such as the inclusion of a possible automatic renewal clause if certain goals are met.

If the deal goes through, Lingard will be Corinthians’ seventh signing in this transfer window. Timão has already signed Gabriel Paulista, Matheus Pereira, Pedro Milans, Kaio César, Allan, and Zakaria Labyad. In addition, the club renewed with Fabrizio Angileri.
