By Marcelo Baseggio

At the request of coach Dorival Júnior, Corinthians has opened talks with São Paulo to sign midfielder Alisson. The player was left out of the Tricolor's squad list for this Thursday's match against São Bernardo, in the second round of the Paulista Championship.

In recent days, Corinthians has approached the player's representatives through Marcelo Paz, the new football executive. São Paulo then received the inquiry from the alvinegro rival to understand the terms of a possible negotiation for the midfielder, who is highly regarded by Dorival.

In this scenario, the possibility of a player exchange is being discussed internally, according to Gazeta Esportiva. São Paulo suggested names like Raniele and José Martínez, but Corinthians considers them starters and is not interested in letting go of the midfielders.

The terms of a possible negotiation, therefore, still need to be adjusted by the clubs, should Corinthians continue to pursue the signing of Alisson.
