Corinthians confirm Matheus Pereira loan signing | OneFootball

Corinthians officially announced this Friday the signing of midfielder Matheus Pereira. The player, who belongs to Fortaleza, has signed a loan contract valid until the end of the season. He is already training with the squad, is registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID), and may debut for Timão.

A son of Terrão, Matheus Pereira played only two matches for Timão before transferring to Empoli, Italy, in 2016. Since then, he has played for several clubs in Europe, including Bordeaux, Juventus B, Dijon, Barcelona B, and Eibar.

The midfielder was signed by Fortaleza in May of last year. He scored two goals and provided three assists in 20 matches for Leão do Pici, who ended up being relegated to the Série B of the Brasileirão.

Main target

Strengthening the midfield was one of the priorities of the Corinthians board, especially after Maycon’s departure. The player signed with Atlético-MG and left Timão.

Corinthians’ next match

This Sunday, Corinthians and São Paulo face off in the first derby for both teams in 2026, valid for the third round of the Campeonato Paulista. The match kicks off at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.
