Corinthians eye Uruguayan striker as they look to lift transfer ban | OneFootball

With ten days left before the transfer window closes, Corinthians still holds hopes of strengthening its squad for the rest of the season, despite being banned by FIFA from registering new players due to a transfer ban.

The club's management continues to negotiate with Santos Laguna, from Mexico, seeking an agreement to pay off the debt of R$ 33.4 million that led to the punishment. At the same time, the club maintains conversations with other teams and agents to try to make new signings possible.

According to the portal ge.globo, one of the names that has emerged on the Timão's agenda is that of striker Agustín Anello, 23, currently playing for Boston River, in Uruguay. Despite being the son of Argentines, the player was born in the United States and has played for the American under-23 team.

Anello preferably plays on the left wing, is right-footed, and has one more year of contract with the Uruguayan club. At Corinthians, he is seen as a low-cost opportunity, which increases the interest of the management.

With passages through several European clubs, the striker built almost his entire foundation on the Old Continent. He defended the youth categories of Barcelona, Espanyol, Cornellá, and Badalona, in Spain, in addition to playing for Lommel (Belgium), Hajduk Split (Croatia), Cambuur, and Sparta Rotterdam, both from the Netherlands.

The recommendation of Agustín Anello reached Corinthians through the market analysis sector, which evaluated the athlete and considered him an interesting option. The department even mapped out other players for the position, but some have already been negotiated with other clubs, while others do not fit the current financial scenario of Timão.

The next week is considered decisive behind the scenes, as the transfer window closes on the 2nd. The club still needs to deal with the possibility of suffering new transfer bans due to financial pending issues involving Matías Rojas and Rodrigo Garro.

In addition to the search for a reinforcement for the attack, Corinthians is also working to recruit athletes for the right-back and midfield positions. So far, Timão has hired only two players for the 2025 season: left-back Fabrizio Angileri and striker Vitinho.
