Portuguesa seal arrival of Corinthians fans' favourite | OneFootball

Throughout this Wednesday (9), Portuguesa finalized the signing of forward Romarinho, 35, who had a spell at Corinthians between 2012 and 2014. The information was first reported by ge.globo. According to the report, only the medical exams remain before the player is officially announced. He has not played in 11 months, since his time at Vitória.

With the Northeastern club, he made only five appearances and was unable to establish himself. Romarinho’s contract with Portuguesa will run until December 2027. The Canindé side will only return to the pitch in the 2027 season, as they were eliminated by Uberlândia in the Serie D round of 16. In recent weeks, the Corinthians fans’ favorite had been using Lusa’s facilities to maintain his fitness.

At Corinthians, his greatest moment came in 2012. Known for always scoring in matches against Palmeiras, Romarinho also cemented his place in Alvinegro history by scoring the equalizer in his Libertadores debut against Boca Juniors at La Bombonera, in the first leg of that year’s international competition final.

In total, representing the club from Parque São Jorge, he recorded 25 goals and 10 assists in 141 matches (107 as a starter), with 60 wins, 52 draws, and 29 losses — a 54.8% success rate. In addition, he won the Libertadores (2012), Club World Cup (2012), Campeonato Paulista (2013), and Recopa Sudamericana (2013).

Before joining Corinthians, he gained recognition in Brazilian football by standing out for Bragantino between 2011 and early 2012. With Massa Bruta, which at the time was playing in Brazil’s Serie B, he scored 16 goals in 46 matches. After leaving Timão in September 2014, Romarinho went on to play for El Jaish SC (Qatar), Al-Jazira (United Arab Emirates), Al-Ittihad FC (Saudi Arabia), Al-Ittihad Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Neon SC (Saudi Arabia), Al-Rayyan (Qatar), and Vitória (Brazil).
