💣Joins forces with Depay: Brazilian football signs a new European star

Corinthians has shaken up South American football by finalizing the signing of English midfielder Jesse Lingard. The former Manchester United and England national team player joins the "Timao" after a lightning-fast negotiation led by Marcelo Paz, the influential football executive of the São Paulo club. According to an initial report by ESPN Brasil, the agreement between both parties is complete.

Contract Details and Bureaucracy

Lingard has signed an initial deal that ties him to the Brazilian club until December of this year. However, the contract includes a clause for an additional season extension if certain sporting objectives are met. Currently, lawyers from both sides are exchanging the final documents to make the transfer official in the coming hours.

A World-Class Signing

Lingard's arrival represents a major media and sporting coup for Corinthians in the 2026 season. The Briton is expected to bring his Premier League experience to strengthen the team's attack in the Brasileirão and continental tournaments.
