Rodrigo Garro becomes Corinthians' 4th most-capped foreigner | OneFootball

In this Sunday’s (09) win over RB Bragantino, midfielder Rodrigo Garro reached an important milestone wearing the Corinthians shirt. Since arriving at the club in January 2024, the Argentine has been making his mark on Timão’s recent history and is already among the foreign players who have represented the team the most times.

Signed from Talleres of Argentina, the player joined Timão at the age of 25 and quickly became one of the squad’s key pieces. In August 2024, the club agreed to renew his contract, which had originally been set to expire at the end of 2027. The new deal now runs until December 31, 2028, with a release clause of R$300 million for the domestic market and €100 million for international transfers.
