According to ESPN BR, negotiations involving Corinthians' 26-year-old Brazilian defender Cacá and Vitória are advanced. Santos had also been observing the player due to his limited playing time at his current club, but the talks with Vitória are making a potential transfer to Santos more difficult. Athletico PR has also been linked with the centre-back and reportedly had a loan offer rejected in January 2026, with Corinthians preferring a sale. Cacá joined his current club in January 2025 for a reported €3.9 million, and his contract runs until the end of 2028. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €1.70m.
