Corinthians is close to announcing two attackers: Kaio César and Roni. The 21-year-old is closed, but still needs to sign. He arrives in São Paulo this Monday to undergo a medical evaluation and sign the documentation. Kaio Caesar was in Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabiawhere he remained for a year. The expectation is that the striker will be an option for Dorival Júnior now next Sunday in the Super Cup final against Flemish. That is if the documentation is regularized.
The situation of Ron It’s different and more cautious. This is a request from the coach himself. Dorival wants the athlete’s speed and race on the edges of the field. ‘Rústico’ has plenty of experience in Libertadores and international competitions. But there are some factors that make getting it right complicated. One of them is Rony’s identification with his rival Palm trees. This bothers the Corinthians fans. Another problem is the financial side. Atlético-MG wants US$4 million, the equivalent of R$22 million.
Dorival knows he needs players with a long calendar full of competitions to compete in. The season will be severe for the Corinthians squad. There are five competitions: Paulistão, Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão, Libertadores and Supercopa. Currently, the team relies heavily on two attacking players: Yuri Alberto e Memphis Depay. In this way, the coach looks for athletes who are not having as many opportunities on their respective teams.

Revealed by the Coritiba base, Kaio Caesar He is a right-handed attacker on the side of the field, acting more as a winger. He is not a goalscorer, but a skilled sprinter who challenges the scorers. One of its flaws is the conclusion. After a promising start in the team from Paraná, he was negotiated with Vitória de Guimarães, from Portugal. The Portuguese club only had the player for one season in the UEFA Conference League. But in early 2025, it was sold to the Al-Hilal of the millionaire Saudi league. That’s where Neymar was.
His name was a request from the coach Jorge Jesuswho followed his games in Portugal. The club invested 10 million euros (R$62.7 million) in the young. Without absolute ownership, he performed reasonably well. His numbers were modest in Asia: 38 games, four goals and four assists. THE Corinthians appears as a possibility of rescuing the attacker.

With speed and willingness, Ron is a useful player. Your moment in Atlético Mineiro is not the most favorable. The Minas club wants to get rid of the player’s high salary, of more than R$1 million. He never managed to repeat the good football of his times Palm trees. In February 2025, Atlético paid R$38 million by the attacker. In this way, the Belo Horizonte team wants to sell the athlete permanently and not on loan, as Corinthians wants.
