Corinthians is keeping tabs on 31-year-old striker Vitinho, who is a free agent after terminating his contract with Saudi Arabia's Al-Ettifaq . The information was released by journalist Luis Fabiani. Having not played since May, the player is evaluating his next career steps .


Vitinho rose to prominence in Brazilian football during his time at Flamengo , between 2018 and 2022, a period in which he played more than 200 games and won important titles : Libertadores (2019), Brasileiros (2019 and 2020), as well as two Supercopas do Brasil. Despite criticism from part of the fans, he was a useful piece at different times for the Rio de Janeiro club.


VITINHO DID NOT SHINE IN ARABIA


After leaving Rubro-Negro, the striker played for three seasons in Saudi Arabia, but without the same brilliance. His underwhelming performance led to the early termination of his contract . Now, as a free agent, Vitinho can sign with any club without any transfer fees.
