Meet the North American winger in talks with Corinthians | OneFootball

Still unable to overturn the transfer ban, Corinthians is already making moves in the market and trying to line up some reinforcements. One of them is the American forward Agustín Anello, from Boston River.

The 23-year-old athlete has been defending the Uruguayan team since last year. The talks with the player's staff are advanced, but Timão needs to overturn the transfer ban to close the deal. The club was punished by Fifa for a debt with Santos Laguna for Félix Torres and has not yet managed to reach an agreement with the Mexicans.

Who is Agustín Anello?

Agustín is the son of Argentinians but was born in the United States and has even played for the country's U-23 team. As a youngster, he went through the youth ranks of Badalona in Spain and was revealed by Lommel SK, from the Second Division of Belgium.

For the Belgian team, he scored seven goals and made five assists in 40 matches. His best season was in 2022/23, when he scored six times and provided four assists in 19 games. That same year he transferred to Hajduk Split, in Croatia. There, he only played 13 times.

Subsequently, Agustín had a short stint in Dutch football. He wore the colors of Sparta Rotterdam, where he only played nine matches. Later, the player was traded to SC Cambuur, who compete in the Second Division of the Netherlands, but also only played in nine games. In both teams, he did not score a single goal.

Current Performance

The forward arrived at Boston River in 2024. In total, he has seven goals and two assists in 45 commitments for the Uruguayan club. In the current season, in 32 games, 21 of them as a starter, he has already scored six times.

Name divides board

Agustín Anello divides opinions in Corinthians' board. Internally, members of the high command discuss whether the player would come to help the team.

The winger, however, fits the profile requested by coach Dorival Júnior. He is right-footed and usually plays on the left side of the field.

More signings?

In addition to the American, Timão is in talks with three other athletes. The idea is to sign at least two of them, if the transfer ban is overturned in the next few days. The names were evaluated by the scouting department, led by manager Renan Bloise.

Despite being active, Corinthians will not make any crazy moves under any circumstances. The board intends to sign players who are free or market opportunities.

However, there is a fear that the club will not be able to overturn the transfer ban and bring the reinforcements in time. The transfer window in Brazilian territory closes on September 2nd. So far, the team has only made two signings in 2025: left-back Fabrizio Angileri and forward Vitinho.
