Héctor Hernández unveiled by Portuguese club after leaving Corinthians | OneFootball

Forward Héctor Hernández has already chosen his new destination. After terminating his contract with Corinthians, the Spaniard was announced this Tuesday (27th) as a new signing for Gil Vicente, from Portugal. The player signed a contract with the Portuguese first division club until 2027.

“Gil Vicente FC announces that player Héctor Hernández is a new addition to the Roosters, having signed a contract valid until 2027,” the Portuguese team stated in an official note published early Tuesday afternoon.

No longer in coach Dorival Júnior’s plans for the 2026 season, Héctor had been training separately from the rest of the squad at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava. By mutual agreement, the club and the player opted for a contract termination, a decision that represents a saving of R$ 4.8 million for Corinthians’ coffers.

With the striker’s departure, Timão now only has defender Renato and midfielder Alex Santana separated from the main squad. Both continue training at alternate times and are also not part of the coaching staff’s plans at this time.

Héctor Hernández arrived at Corinthians in the second half of 2024, after standing out while playing for Chaves, in Portugal. Before that, the Spaniard played for clubs in the lower divisions of Spanish football. With Timão, he was part of the squad that won the Campeonato Paulista and the Copa do Brasil in 2025.

Without the forward in the group, Corinthians now only has Yuri Alberto, Pedro Raul, and Gui Negão as options for the striker position.
