Corinthians is eyeing a significant reinforcement for its attacking command and is planning an offer of approximately R$57 million to Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, for striker Michael, a former Flamengo player. The information was released by the portal "Meu Timão" and confirmed by ESPN. Michael, 28 years old, has been playing for the Arab club since 2022.
Signing Michael is seen as a priority to strengthen the Corinthians squad. The proposal is being made possible thanks to the partnership with the club's new master sponsor, "Esportes da Sorte". Al Hilal management already has a pre-agreement for the sale of the player, as long as he receives adequate financial compensation.
Corinthians management has fulfilled its promise to reinforce the squad for the remainder of the season. Recently, the club announced the signings of goalkeeper Hugo Souza, defender André Ramalho, and midfielders Charles and Alex Santana. According to the technical committee led by Ramón Díaz, there is still a great striker missing to complete the team.
Last Sunday (28), the Corinthians lost 2-1 to Atlético-MG at Arena MRV, complicating their position in the Brazilian Championship. With 19 points, Corinthians is in 15th place, just one point above Vitória, which opens the relegation zone. The expectation is that Michael's arrival could bring better results.
Michael is seen as an important asset for Corinthians due to his track record in Brazilian and international football. Known for his speed and skill, he stood out at Flamengo, where he was essential in several achievements. In addition to his performance on the field, Michael has experience in high-level competitions, which could be crucial for Alvinegro in decisive moments.

On social media and in the vicinity of the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, groups of fans have been demonstrating their dissatisfaction with the technical committee and the board.
