In Brazil, in addition to a work visa and registration in the Federal Official Gazette, he also had to obtain a CPF. Without a club since leaving South Korean football at the end of 2025, Jesse Lingard emerged as a market opportunity and received internal backing due to the experience he accumulated in European football, especially in the Premier League.

For this season, it is also worth remembering, Corinthians have signed the following players: center-back Gabriel Paulista, right-back Pedro Milans, defensive midfielder Allan, midfielder Matheus Pereira, attacking midfielder Zakaria Labyad, as well as forward Kaio César. All of them arrived on free transfers or on loan, following the club’s transfer policy as it deals with financial problems.
