Hugo’s injury puts pressure on Corinthians to renew with Angileri | OneFootball

Corinthians finds itself under a bit more pressure to renew the contract with left-back Fabrizio Angileri. The team has limited options for the left-back position due to Hugo's injury, who will have to undergo surgery.

Hugo had been used as the immediate backup for Matheus Bidu in the position. However, the player suffered a lateral meniscus injury in his right knee and will undergo a surgical procedure in the coming days.

The absence of the athlete has limited the club's left-back position to just one name: Matheus Bidu. Besides the starter, there is no other player in the same role. If he becomes unavailable, coach Dorival Júnior will need to resort to improvisations.

Therefore, the expectation is that Timão will speed up negotiations to ensure Angileri's stay. The Gazeta Esportiva report found that the talks are advanced, with only a few details remaining to finalize the deal.

The negotiation between Corinthians and Angileri was unlocked in recent days. The club's initial offer did not meet the values sought by the Argentine's staff, but Timão decided not to increase the figures, prioritizing financial balance.

Angileri received inquiries from other teams but remained free in the market. More than a month after the end of his contract with Corinthians, the club's management finally began receiving positive signals and moved closer to renewing with the left-back.

During this period, the athlete maintained frequent contact with the club's football department and even talked with other players in the squad, reaffirming his desire to stay with the team.

Angileri was signed by Corinthians at the beginning of last year and has had both good and bad moments. Since then, he has played 42 matches for the Parque São Jorge team, 26 as a starter, with two assists.

The left-back is seen by Dorival Júnior as an important piece in the squad. He can play as a left-back or as a third central defender.
