Igor Vinícius is in advanced negotiations to join Corinthians after losing his spot at São Paulo and not being in coach Luis Zubeldía's plans. Despite São Paulo's contract until 2025, he can leave for free, owning his economic rights. Corinthians, needing a right-back and offering more exposure, is favored, partly due to coach Dorival Júnior, with whom Vinícius won the Copa do Brasil in 2023. Santos, Fortaleza, and Vasco showed interest, but Vasco is out. Vinícius, recovering from a back injury, will soon resume training.
