Dorival admits Cacá could leave Corinthians | OneFootball

The defender Cacá might be leaving Corinthians. Coach Dorival Júnior revealed that the defender is negotiating with another club right after Timão's victory over Capivariano this Thursday at Neo Química Arena, for the Campeonato Paulista.

“There is something in progress, we are waiting for the outcome. I cannot risk exposing the player to any situation,” said the coach in a press conference. The name of the team was kept confidential.

Cacá was not even listed for the match against Capivariano. The player returned to the bench last Sunday in the Supercopa do Brasil after recovering from an abdominal injury but was cut from Thursday's game.

Recently, the athlete had negotiations with Athletico-PR. The Furacão came close to an agreement with Corinthians but eventually backed out. The alvinegra board prioritizes the player's permanent departure.

Cacá joined Corinthians in 2024, on loan. He achieved the goals set in the contract and was acquired permanently from Tokushima Vortis, Japan, at the beginning of 2025. At that time, Timão paid 4 million euros (about R$ 24 million) for 90% of the defender's economic rights.

So far, he has played 71 matches for the alvinegra team, scoring eight goals and providing one assist. Revealed by Cruzeiro, he also played for Athletico-PR in 2023, with 20 appearances for the Furacão.
