Corinthians near new deal with Gustavo Henrique, final details left | OneFootball

The Corinthians have advanced in negotiations with Gustavo Henrique to renew the contract of the 32-year-old defender. The parties are discussing final details and are hopeful of extending the current contract for another two seasons.

The situation was treated as a priority by the Timão management. The defender's contract is only valid until the end of this year, so he was free to sign a pre-contract starting in mid-2025. Gustavo received some inquiries from other clubs but always prioritized Corinthians.

Optimistically, the club's management is expected to have a few more meetings with the defender's staff to adjust the final details and seal the agreement. The player was only waiting for the club's presidential election, which confirmed the victory of Osmar Stabile, to advance in the talks.

Gustavo Henrique, although he has suffered from some physical issues, has become an indispensable part of Corinthians' defense this season. He has played 19 matches in 2025, all as a starter, and scored two goals, one of them in the classic against Palmeiras in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

Besides him, Timão has also arranged the contract renewal with Gui Negão, a young forward who has scored in the last three games. The youth academy revelation is expected to extend the contract for another five years.

There are also other players with contracts nearing their end. These include Angileri, Maycon, Romero, and Talles Magno. The club, however, prefers to wait for the coming months to decide the future of each of these athletes.
