On the morning of Monday (16), rumors accounted for a possible exchange between the Corinthians and the Athletico-PR, involving the attacker Gustavo Silva, known as Mosquito, and the steering wheel Alex Santana. However, the information was readily denied by sources linked to the São Paulo club and by Hurricane's own technician, Cuca.
According to journalist Samir Carvalho, who talked to sources within the CorinthiansThere's no interest in Mosquito trading with Alex Santana. Radio Itatiaia also contacted Cuca, who was emphatic in denying the possibility: "No (there is possibility). Alex Santana is very important here," said the former Corinthian trainer.
It is worth noting that Corinthians still seeks four reinforcements to close the cast in 2024. The special transfer window closes next Friday (19), and if you can't hire more players in this period, Timão can only have new reinforcements in the mid-year window.
The phrase of coach Cuca, "Alex Santana is very important here", reinforces the importance of the player for Athletico-PR and corroborates the information that there is no interest in the exchange. The statement of the former Corinthian trainer also indicates that Hurricane is not willing to release the steering wheel at this time, even with the proximity of the end of the transfer window.
