While the Corinthians board works on preparing for the rest of the season and monitors possible moves in the next transfer window, some players still under contract with the club continue playing for other teams. Currently, six players tied to Timão are out on loan and experiencing different moments at their respective clubs.

Among established starters, young players looking for space, and cases marked by injuries or adaptation difficulties, the situation of the loanees presents different perspectives for the future.

Cacá takes on a leading role at Vitória

Loaned to Vitória at the start of the season, center-back Cacá quickly became one of the key figures in Jair Ventura’s team. The defender earned a starting spot as soon as he arrived and played in every match for which he was available.

His strong performances led the Bahia club to pay the contractual fee to use him precisely against Corinthians, in a Brazilian Championship match that ended in a scoreless draw.

So far, Cacá has made 23 appearances, all as a starter, along with one goal and one assist. The loan runs until December 2026. His contract with Corinthians lasts until December 2028.

Félix Torres regains his place at Internacional

After losing space at Corinthians, Félix Torres found an opportunity at Internacional to get a consistent run of games again. The Ecuadorian center-back has earned the trust of the coaching staff and has been playing regularly.

In addition to his consistency at the club from Rio Grande do Sul, the defender was also called up by the Ecuador national team for the 2026 World Cup. So far, Félix has made 19 appearances for Internacional, 16 of them as a starter, and has scored two goals.

His loan runs until December 2026, while his contract with Corinthians is valid until December 2027.

Ryan is part of Fortaleza’s rotation

Defensive midfielder Ryan continues to log minutes for Fortaleza. Without the status of an undisputed starter, the player has been used regularly by coach Thiago Carpini and even featured in decisive Copa do Nordeste matches.

The spell has been important for the continued development of the 22-year-old player. In 2026, Ryan has played 21 matches, 12 of them as a starter.

The loan to the Ceará club runs until December 2026, while his deal with Corinthians expires in December 2028.

Diego Palacios seeks to regain fitness in Ecuador

Back in Ecuadorian football, Diego Palacios is still trying to recover his match rhythm after the physical problems that marked his time at Corinthians.

Since joining Universidad Católica, the left-back has played in ten matches, but has yet to start any of them.

The loan is valid until December 2026. His contract with Corinthians runs until December 2027.

Léo Mana goes through a quiet spell at Criciúma

Developed in Corinthians’ youth academy, Léo Mana has not yet managed to establish himself at Criciúma. The right-back lost ground over the course of the season and has had few opportunities on the pitch.

So far, the player has made eight appearances, only one of them as a starter. In the Santa Catarina side’s most recent rounds, he was not even included in the squad.

The loan ends in July 2026, while his contract with Corinthians is valid until December 2029.

Matheus Donelli still awaits his debut in the United Arab Emirates

Among all the loaned-out players, Matheus Donelli’s case is the most unusual. The goalkeeper was loaned to Shabab Al Ahli of the United Arab Emirates, but has yet to take the field for the team.

Bureaucratic issues related to the registration of foreign players have prevented him from being cleared to play since arriving at the club. Even so, the parties reached an agreement to extend the loan until the end of this year.

Donelli is still waiting to make his debut for the Emirati side. His temporary deal runs until December 2026, while his contract with Corinthians is valid until June 2028.

With the transfer window approaching, Corinthians will continue monitoring the progress of the loaned-out players. Some of them may return to the club when their temporary deals end, while others will have their futures decided according to the performances they show throughout the season.
