Corinthians near new deal for versatile academy talent | OneFootball

After the controversial departure of Kauê Furquim from Corinthians’ youth academy, the board has already secured the renewal of Gui Amorim and is finalizing an agreement with Pellegrin, a player from the under-20 team. His contract was set to expire on August 23, next Saturday, and the new deal will be valid until January 2027, according to Meu Timão.

Born in 2006, he is eligible to play in two more Copinhas, one in 2026 and another in 2027. Originally positioned as a right-back, Pellegrin has also been used as a right winger and received the approval of coach William Batista to finalize the deal. The signing is expected to take place this Thursday, the 21st.

Due to his expiring contract, the youngster was removed from training sessions and was not used by the coaching staffs that led the team in recent weeks. During negotiations, it was agreed that the contract length would be shorter than the player initially wanted, but this was balanced out by a higher salary than originally offered.

Pellegrin has been with Corinthians since he was six years old, when he started in the club’s futsal program. Having progressed through all the age groups up to the under-20s, he was even called up to the Brazilian National Team for the under-15 and under-17 squads, always as a right-back.

With his reintegration into the squad, the youngster is now available for Timãozinho for the next stages of the Paulista Under-20 Championship. After the state tournament, Corinthians will focus on preparations for the Copa São Paulo, which takes place throughout January.
