Corinthians announces the signing of former Athletico-PR player

O Corinthians made official this Thursday (7) the arrival on loan of the defender Hunting, the team’s 11th signing of the season. The 24-year-old defender signed a contract until the end of December this year. He belongs to Tokushima Vortis, from Japan, but was on loan to Athletico until July.

The deal involves a purchase option worth R$12.5 million (2.5 million dollars). The definitive acquisition will only be carried out automatically if pre-established targets are met.

With him, Corinthians completes a team of reinforcements for the season. The Parque São Jorge club has already signed right-back Matheuzinho; defenders Félix Torres and Gustavo Henrique; left-backs Diego Palacios and Hugo; the Raniele steering wheel; midfielders Rodrigo Garro and Igor Coronado; and attackers Pedro Raul and Pedro Henrique. In addition to them, coach António Oliveira also came.

Cacá will defend his third club in Brazil. Revealed by Cruzeiro, he debuted for the club, then was sold to Japan in 2021 and returned after two seasons to play for Athletico-PR. There were 20 games and two goals scored by Furacão.

“I’m extremely happy to wear this shirt. It’s a dream come true. Now, I have to prepare myself well so I can get on the field and play with the fans. I’m sure we’ll be very happy together,” said Cacá.
