Out for over a month at Corinthians, striker’s future still up in the air | OneFootball

The forward Héctor Hernández continues with an undefined future. Training separately from the squad of Corinthians for over a month, the Spaniard has not been transferred by the club and faces a stalemate.

Out of the plans of Dorival Júnior's technical staff, Héctor is excluded and trains at alternative times at the Dr. Joaquim Grava Training Center since the last May 19. Timão's intention was to negotiate him in the last transfer window.

Two clubs approached Héctor, who even negotiated the termination with Corinthians, but the talks did not progress.

Héctor's Situation

The situation left the Spaniard in a stalemate. This is because the European and other leagues' windows have already closed. Thus, only clubs from the United Arab Emirates (until October 1) and less prominent centers can still sign players.

Héctor's contract with Corinthians is valid until the end of 2026. Therefore, he may continue training separately at least until the end of this year, when the window in the main markets will reopen.

Exclusion “without justification”

Recently, in an interview with the newspaper Marca, from Spain, the forward claimed that Corinthians did not justify his exclusion. At the time, he still hoped to transfer to another team.

“There was no justification. But when the time comes, as I believe it will, I will speak and explain everything that happened, and that's it,” said the player.

Héctor's Numbers

Héctor Hernández's stint at Corinthians, so far, is extremely lackluster. He played only 24 matches and scored two goals, in addition to two assists.

The poor performance even caused the Spaniard to lose his place. During Yuri Alberto's absence, Dorival gave opportunities to youth players, like Gui Negão, who took advantage of the chances and pushed Héctor to the back of the line.
