Late this Monday afternoon (11), Corinthians registered its eighth signing for the Under-17 category in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID), aiming to bolster the squad for the 2026 season. It is 15-year-old left-back Emanuel Martins — born in 2010. Following the law, the contract is initially a development deal and is valid until April 28, 2029.

The youngster is expected to initially join the Under-16 category. That is because, in the Under-17s, Wendell and Brenno Martins (Pirituba) have been competing for a starting spot. Before arriving at Parque São Jorge, Emanuel played in Volta Redonda’s youth ranks in Rio de Janeiro, where he had spent most of his time up to now. According to Meu Timão, he had already been training with Timãozinho before the contract was officially registered.

It is worth remembering that the player is age-eligible to play in the youth categories until the end of the 2031 Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior. Besides him, Alvinegro had already signed the following players for the category this year: goalkeeper Kevin Luis, left-back Brenno Martins, defensive midfielders Ji-Paraná and Victor Michell, attacking midfielders Matheus Rocha and Darllyson, as well as forward Laerte Júnior.

The Parque São Jorge club, managed by Guilherme Nascimento, is competing in the Under-17 Campeonato Paulista and Brasileirão this season. In the state competition, Timãozinho beat Terceiro Milênio at home by 5-0 and Juventus away by 3-0 in the first two rounds. The Filhos do Terrão will 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.

In the Brazilian Championship, Alvinegro will make its debut against Vitória away from home on May 29, Friday, at 3 p.m. (Brasília time).
