Corinthians agree transfer of 18-year-old goalkeeper to Italian football | OneFootball

Corinthians has agreed to transfer goalkeeper Arthur Borghi, 18, to the Italian team Hellas Verona. The player will sign a contract with the European club until 2029 to join the professional squad of the Italian team. The information was released by the portal Meu Timão.

Arthur Borghi had been considering the possibility of leaving since the beginning of the second semester and held talks with other clubs in the country, including Reggiana. Hellas Verona advanced in negotiations after presenting a sports project considered more suitable for the athlete. Corinthians retains 20% of the economic rights, while the Italian club will have the remaining percentage.

The goalkeeper had a contract with Corinthians until October 5, 2026, which would allow him to sign a pre-contract with another club starting in April. Timão chose to negotiate the athlete now and maintain a future stake in a potential transfer.

On social media, Arthur posted messages of gratitude to the club. In an Instagram story, he wrote: “Thank you, Corinthians. It was an honor”, and on the same platform, in another post, he added: “Through this post, I want to express my gratitude to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, to all the athletes, and to all the club's employees. It will be etched in my heart and in my history. Go Corinthians!!!!“.

At Hellas Verona, currently at the bottom of the Italian Serie A, Arthur Borghi will compete for a position with Lorenzo Montipò, Simone Perilli, Giacomo Toniolo, and Mattia Chiesa. The squad also includes another player trained at Corinthians' youth academy, forward Giovane, who joined the Italian team this season after terminating his contract and becoming a free agent.

Arthur Borghi played for Corinthians between 2022 and 2025, progressing through the Under-15, Under-17, and Under-20 teams. In the current season, he mainly defended the Under-20 B team, with appearances in the main squad as a bench option.

Currently, the goalkeepers training regularly and working to make the 2026 Copinha roster are Matheus Corrêa, Cadu, Nicollas, Pietro, and Gustavo Milani. The club also confirmed the return of goalkeeping coach Moisés Campos, responsible for the development of athletes in the category.
