The Brazilian national team has called up Corinthians players Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, and Breno Bidon for friendlies against Australia and India in late September and early October. Paz believes that the increased value of these players will lead to higher sales in the coming months. "The market knows that Corinthians is struggling and comes with lower offers," Paz said. "There are sales in December, the year is not over yet. If the sale does not occur, the called-up players have a higher value than they had before the call-up. Corinthians will have a financial return when these sales occur."
The club's budget for 2026 predicts an income of R$ 151 million from FIFA solidarity mechanism and federal rights, with R$ 2.978 million already collected in this category until June. Corinthians had negotiated the sales of midfielders André and Breno Bidon during the last transfer window but failed to complete any deals. The period for player registrations has already closed in the main global football markets.
