Corinthians in talks with Internacional over Félix Torres loan | OneFootball

The defender Félix Torres may be on his way out of Corinthians. The Alvinegro club is negotiating the loan of the Ecuadorian player to Internacional.

The report found that the talks are progressing well. The parties are discussing the final details before sealing the agreement, which should be valid until the end of 2026 with a purchase option. The information was initially published by ge and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

Fabinho Soldado’s Involvement

The negotiations involved Fabinho Soldado, former Corinthians executive and current Internacional director. He was aware that Timão wanted to negotiate Félix Torres and saw in the Ecuadorian an opportunity to strengthen Internacional’s defense, which was weakened by the departure of Vitão to Flamengo.

Fabinho believes that the defender’s image was worn out at the São Paulo club, but that he can regain his form in the South.

Out of the Plans

Félix Torres is not in the plans of Dorival Júnior. The player, who has a contract valid until the end of 2027, did not establish himself at Corinthians and has received few opportunities.

The defender was signed by Timão from Santos Laguna at the beginning of 2024 for around R$ 31 million. However, the club did not pay the Mexicans and saw the debt result in a transfer ban from FIFA, in effect since August 2025.

Already thinking about a replacement for Félix Torres, Corinthians is negotiating the signing of Gabriel Paulista, a defender with a spell at Arsenal who is a free agent after terminating with Besiktas, from Turkey. He is a fan of the São Paulo club and advanced talks are underway for him to play for his boyhood team.
