Corinthians confirm exit of defender from their under-17 side | OneFootball

Late this Tuesday afternoon (7), Corinthians registered in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID) the contract termination of center-back Guilherme Freitas, born in 2009 and part of the Under-17 squad – see the publication of his departure at the end of this article. The player had joined the club in February 2025, still under the administration of ousted president Augusto Melo, after a spell with Flamengo de Guarulhos.

It is worth remembering that the previous board signed 87 players in a year and a half for the Under-17 and Under-20 categories alone. After changes in the department and the arrival of executive Erasmo Damiani, most of them are no longer at the club. For Timãozinho, Guilherme Freitas made only nine appearances in 2025, five of them in the Paulista Championship and another four in the Brasileirão of the category. In total, there were four wins, one draw and four losses – a 48% success rate.

At the start of this season, more than 30 players left Corinthians’ youth academy, generating annual savings of R$ 1,900,000, as reported by Central do Timão at the end of March. Among those departures, six were from the Under-17 category: Pablo Dantas, Paulo Henrique Pereira, Renan Fernando, Rilkiffer Santos, Lorenzo Lucas and Guilherme Freitas.

On the other hand, the following were signed: goalkeeper Kevin Luis, midfielders Victor Michell and Ji-Paraná, as well as attacking midfielder Matheus Rocha and forward Laerte Júnior. Os Filhos do Terrão, coached by Guilherme Nascimento, will compete in the Brazilian Under-17 Championship and the Paulista Under-17 Championship in 2026. Alvinegro will make its debut in the state competition in the category only on May 2, away from home, against Terceiro Milênio.
