Coritiba has made an initial inquiry about the conditions for a possible transfer of Charles, a 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder from Corinthians. This inquiry indicates that the player is being considered by the club for the next season. The contact was a probe, with Coritiba seeking information on the player's salary and availability, but an official proposal has not yet been made. The club's board is treating the matter with caution and views such consultations as a common part of their market analysis. Corinthians confirmed the inquiry but clarified that they will not open any talks until after Monday because of their focus on the Brazilian Cup final. All player transfers have been paused until the title is decided. Charles has a long-term contract with Corinthians that is valid until 2028. The player joined Corinthians in July 2024 and has a current market value of €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
