Corinthians confirm cancellation of João Pedro Tchoca loan to Torino | OneFootball

Corinthians confirmed the cancellation of João Pedro Tchoca’s loan to Torino. The club said in a statement that the centre-back is returning and had been cleared to join the Italians fit to play.

He had been included in the matchday squad against Velo Clube last Sunday. Tchoca will rejoin training but will not be available for the Supercopa Rei in Brasília as he missed this week’s sessions.

The clubs had agreed a loan worth one and a half million euros, with a seven million euro option to buy, a package that would have ranked among the most lucrative defender deals in the club’s history.

With most European transfer windows closing on Monday and Tuesday, 2 and 3 February, the likelihood is that Tchoca remains available to Corinthians for now.

On his return, he faces competition from André Ramalho, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Paulista and Cacá, as well as the sidelined Renato.
