Enjoying a positive run, Gustavo celebrated the moment he is experiencing in a Corinthians shirt. The player highlighted how happy he is to represent the club and reinforced his commitment to keep improving in order to help the team.

“I feel like I’m going through a great moment. It makes me very happy and motivated to be performing so well at a club as big as Corinthians. I keep working every day to help my teammates and honor the shirt of this club, which I consider my home”, said Gustavo.

The youngster had already caught attention last season, when he played for the Under-16s. In 2025, he was given opportunities with the Under-17s during the period when part of the main squad in the category was competing in the Andalusia Tournament in Spain.

With Gustavo Sales available, Corinthians return to action this Thursday. The team faces Vasco da Gama at 11 a.m. at Nivaldo Pereira Stadium, in a match valid for the eighth round of the Brazilian Under-17 Championship.
