Under-20s: Corinthians sign former Fortaleza goalkeeper | OneFootball

By Fabio Luigi / Central do Timão Editorial Team

Late this Tuesday afternoon/early evening (5), Corinthians registered the arrival of goalkeeper Ricardo Schutlz, 18 (born in 2008), in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID). He previously belonged to Fortaleza. With his registration now completed, the youngster is already eligible to make his debut wearing the Filhos do Terrão shirt, whose Under-20 squad currently has the following goalkeeping options: Matheus Corrêa, Nicollas Siqueira, Pietro, and Gustavo Milani. This season, Timãozinho is competing in the Paulista Championship and the Brazilian Championship.

Before joining Corinthians, the goalkeeper had already spent time in the youth ranks of Grêmio, where he played for the Under-15 and Under-17 teams, and Fortaleza. At the northeastern club, he had been since the start of 2025, making only three official appearances for Leão do Pici. According to the Meu Timão website, the contract will be valid for three years – see the publication of the deal in the BID at the end of this article.

It is worth remembering that Corinthians has been undergoing a restructuring in its youth categories, especially at the Under-20 level, which became overcrowded with players during the administration of ousted president Augusto Melo. Under the leadership of Erasmo Damiani as the department’s executive, Alvinegro has been focusing on no-cost signings with potential for development and future financial return for the club, through active scouting work.

For 2026, in addition to goalkeeper Ricardo, the club has signed center-backs Zé Antônio (on loan from Santa Cruz), Levy Dias (formerly of Flamengo), Yago Melo (formerly of Flamengo), left-back Joãozinho (formerly of Athletico-PR), midfielder Christian Oliveira (formerly of Flamengo), as well as forwards Ryan Evaristo (formerly of Boa Vista) and Gustavo Corrêa (formerly of América-MG).
