Corinthians consults for Arthur, but faces high salary request

Por Equipe Editorial CifraNET · 08/07/2026

At the request of coach Fernando Diniz, Corinthians carried out a consultation on the situation of midfielder Arthur, ex-Grêmio. However, talks are unlikely to progress at this time.

The main obstacle is the player's high salary request, considered above Timão's financial reality. The club, however, continues to monitor the situation and does not rule out a new move if the athlete also agrees to reduce his wages.

The information was initially published by journalist Samir Carvalho and confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

At the moment, the Corinthians board's priority is to overturn FIFA's transfer ban in order to re-register players. The Parque São Jorge club was punished due to a debt of US$1.5 million (R$7.7 million at current prices) with the Philadelphia Union, from the United States, for the acquisition of midfielder José Martínez, in 2024.

Arthur, who currently belongs to Juventus, in Italy, left Grêmio about a month ago, after the end of his loan period. The parties have not reached a financial agreement to renew the contract.

The midfielder's contract with the Italian club is valid until the middle of 2027. Therefore, the most viable alternative for Corinthians to complete the agreement would be a new loan to Brazilian football.
