Marlon Santos, 30, is in advanced talks with Corinthians. The Brazilian central defender, who has a contract with Shakhtar Donetsk until June 30, 2026, is seeking a new club as he does not wish to remain in Ukraine. It is reported that he intends to utilize a special UEFA rule to suspend his contract with the Ukrainian side. Marlon spent last season on loan at Italian club Monza. A separate report from abroad indicates that Panathinaikos is also interested in the player, who has been linked with them in the past. The defender joined Shakhtar in July 2021 and has made 7 appearances in the Premier Liga this season, providing 2 assists. He has been capped twice by the Brazil U23 national team and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €3.00m.
