The football director of CorinthiansDuílio Monteiro Alves had great intentions in hiring Philippe Coutinho. The player entered the radar of the São Paulo club, because the midfielder has been a reserve of Aston Villa and lost some of its prestige in Europe. Apparently, Coutinho would even accept this challenge in São Jorge Park, but the English did not seem willing to release, which cooled the conversations.
On the other hand, another star seems to be closer to Corinthians. According to the Sports Gazette, the Corinthian board advanced the possibility of bringing Matheus Pereira, from Al-Hilal, wishing to officialize a one-year loan from the player, becoming responsible for paying his salary during the period.
In this way, a proposal should be formalized soon to be able to count on the midfielder, which may be an interesting alternative to play alongside or in Renato Augusto's spot. It is worth remembering that the shirt 15 is Brazilian and moved in 2010 to Portugal, country by which also has citizenship, with passages by Sporting and West Bromwich.
