Dorival: Angileri renewal progressing, Corinthians’ market stance | OneFootball

Corinthians may have a familiar face back in their squad in the coming days. In a press conference given this Wednesday, coach Dorival Júnior admitted that Timão has made progress in renewing the contract of defender Fabrizio Angileri, whose contract with the club ended in December 2025.

“I think the group knows him well (Angileri), there are no secrets. Now, naturally, he will go through the entire process to gain the necessary rhythm, if the negotiation is finalized. It is very advanced, but not yet completed,” revealed Dorival.

After the contract ended, the parties did not reach an agreement to renew the Argentine player's contract. Corinthians even made a renewal proposal, but it did not meet the values sought by Angileri's staff. Prioritizing financial balance, the club chose not to increase the figures.

The defender, in turn, received inquiries from other teams but remains a free agent. More than a month after the contract ended, Corinthians saw a sign that the player might concede.

Gazeta Esportiva has learned that the wingback maintains frequent contact with Timão's football department and even talks with the players, expressing his desire to stay at the club.

Corinthians in the market

Dorival Júnior explained how Corinthians pursues its signings in the transfer market. According to him, all the names sought have a study behind them.

“We had to filter all the information about each athlete. We have a team at the club that approves and provides us with possible names. These people have a slightly better understanding of the characteristics of each player we observe. Then, Marcelo (Paz) and I finalize by analyzing the most viable options with the best conditions. That's how we've been doing it,” he explained.

The Alvinegro from Parque São Jorge returns to the field this Thursday for the Paulista Championship. At 8:30 PM (Brasília time), Timão hosts Capivariano at the Neo Química Arena, in a postponed match from the sixth round of the State Championship.
