2010-born keeper signs pro deal at Corinthians, two more for under-17 | OneFootball

In the early afternoon of this Tuesday (12), Corinthians registered the contract of goalkeeper Matheus Alemão, 16, in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID). Born in 2010, the youngster stands out for his height, as he is two meters tall. The deal is a professional contract and is valid until March 31, 2029, following the limit set by Brazilian legislation for players under 18.

Previously, Matheus had a youth development contract that ran until July 2027. Central do Timão is seeking more information about the release clause amount. Last season, the goalkeeper was the starter for Timãozinho’s Under-15 team, being one of the squad’s standout players and making 25 appearances in the state championship for the age group.

Last year, the Under-15 team also won the Mina Cup, Copa Votorantim, and Paulista Cup. On the other hand, they were eliminated by Red Bull Bragantino in the semifinals of the Campeonato Paulista. For the 2026 season, Alemão was promoted to the Under-17 team, where he is competing with Gustavo Milani for a starting spot.

This year, Guilherme Nascimento’s squad is competing in the Paulistão and the Brasileirão. Recently, along with two other Filhos do Terrão, midfielder Lucas Lopes and attacking midfielder Léo Rodrigues, they won the Under-16 Montaigu Tournament for Brazil in France, beating Portugal’s national team in the final.

So far, Timãozinho has a 100% record in the Under-17 Campeonato Paulista, having beaten Terceiro Milênio at home 5-0 and Juventus away 3-0 in the first two rounds. The Filhos do Terrão return to the pitch this Saturday (16), at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), at Fazendinha, to face Barcelona Esportivo de Capela in the third round of the competition.

Two more reinforcements for the Under-17s – 10 signings for 2026

During this Tuesday (12), Corinthians registered two more signings for the Under-17 category. There are now ten since the start of the season. In the Daily Information Bulletin (BID), Alvinegro published the contracts of goalkeeper Ruan Pablo Dantas Coelho (born in 2010) and center-back Estevão de Souza Balarin (born in 2009).

The first arrives on a youth development contract and previously played for Pitangueiras Futebol Clube, from Cotia. The second, meanwhile, arrives at Parque São Jorge after standing out for Ponte Preta. The youngster terminated his contract indirectly (unilateral termination), alleging missed payments by the Campinas-based club.

As a result, he joined Corinthians as a free agent and signed a professional contract until March 2029. According to information published by Rádio TMC, Alvinegro acquired 80% of the youngster’s economic rights. His last appearance had been on January 14, in Ponte Preta’s 3-0 loss to Cruzeiro.

In addition to the two mentioned, Alvinegro had already signed the following players for the category this year: goalkeeper Kevin Luis, left-backs Emanuel Martins and Brenno Martins, defensive midfielders Ji-Paraná and Victor Michell, midfielders Matheus Rocha and Darllyson, as well as forward Laerte Júnior.
