Trusted Man

Signed on loan in February 2025, the 25-year-old athlete has become one of Peixe's key players during Neymar's absences. In 37 matches played last season, the Argentine scored nine goals and provided one assist. In December, Santos announced the permanent signing of the midfielder.

This season, Barreal is the outfield player with the most games played, alongside Rollheiser and João Schmidt. He has played 12 games and scored two goals. Before joining Santos, he was on loan from FC Cincinnati, USA, to Cruzeiro.

The most memorable moment for the Argentine with Alvinegro Praiano was precisely against Corinthians, in October last year. On that occasion, during the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship, the midfielder scored a stunning goal and provided an assist in the 3-1 victory.

Standings Situation

Against Corinthians, Santos seeks to gain momentum in the Brazilian Championship, where they currently hold the 14th position with five points. The match is also crucial for coach Vojvoda, whose job is under threat.
