Out in the cold: Spanish striker speaks on Corinthians exit | OneFootball

Training at alternative times at Corinthians since last week, Spanish striker Héctor Hernández is away from training with the squad and negotiating his termination with the Alvinegro, as reported by UOL Esporte in recent days. His contract ends in December 2026.

Coach Dorival Júnior used the player in the first games in command of the team, in late April, but now he is no longer in the commander's plans, who has been giving space to Gui Negão and Kayke Ferrari. In an interview with Jornal Marca, from Spain, he stated that Corinthians did not justify his removal.

“There was no justification. But at the right moment, which I believe will come, I will speak and explain everything that happened and that's it. Let's see what happens. I remain with the same motivation as always. In the end, football is like this: we are always in constant motion. I have a contract now with Corinthians. I'm focused here and that's it. Let's see what happens in this market. I'm calm”, he started.

Later, the number 22 shirt stated that the recent political turmoil in the institution affects the Corinthians team on the field, adding to the constant changes of directors: “It's a pity. You realize that things are not okay here: there's something that's failing in the club. I don't know what, but something is wrong, because the situation is not stable. (It affects) A lot, 100%. We try, but in the end it's like you're at home and suddenly a new person always appears.”

“And every day there are news that something happened, something else: blocking of bank accounts, change of president, losing two games and already talking about dismissing the coach, the sports director… many situations that keep everything unstable. And Corinthians is very big. Anything that comes out of Corinthians is a “boom”. The pressure exists for both good and bad. When it's good, it's great, but for the bad, you also have to endure”, he concluded.

Héctor Hernández was hired by Corinthians in the July 2024 transfer window, at a time when the team was fighting against relegation. However, since then, the Spaniard has only entered the field 24 times (10 wins, eight draws, and six losses), scoring only two goals and conceding only one assist. The player was part of the squad that won the 2025 state championship, against Palmeiras, in Itaquera.
