Romário wanted to play for Corinthians: “Always liked them” | OneFootball

Romário has never hidden his admiration for Corinthians and, this week, spoke again about his unfulfilled desire to have played wearing the black-and-white shirt. Appearing on the show Hora dos Craques, on Romário TV, the legendary striker brought up the subject once more.

Asked by host Benjamin Back whether Timão was the team he would have liked to play for, Baixinho was sincere: “F*** yeah. I’ve always really liked Corinthians, especially the fans.”

Benja went on, saying it would have been a dream to see the goal scorer play in the black-and-white shirt, and the former player agreed, reinforcing that the teams he would have liked to play for, but never did, were Corinthians and Botafogo.

It almost happened!

The four-time world champion with the national team had already revealed, in 2017, that during the MSI era he had talks with Timão, but the deal ultimately did not happen: “That Iranian guy was there, Andrés Sanchez was just getting started. It came very close to happening.”

In Brazil, Romário played for Vasco, Flamengo, Fluminense, and América, all from Rio de Janeiro. Altogether, he won 9 titles, with highlights including the Copa Mercosur, the Brazilian Championship, and the Rio de Janeiro State Championship. Abroad, he also shone wearing the shirts of PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona, winning domestic titles in both the Netherlands and Spain.
