The management of Alvinegra realizes Uruguayan Cavani is a difficult dream, and therefore is searching markets in Brazil and abroad in search of alternatives.

For this, the hat holders turned to the services of Cifut (Center for Football Intelligence). The division has had little impact on recent appointments, as Timão has sought out famous names that do not require deeper analysis, as has been the case with Paulinho, Willian and Renato Augusto.

However, the intelligence center should have a greater role in this transition period. Two of the division’s five analysts continue to work during this period when part of the club is on vacation. They are posting daily with Director of Football, Alessandro Nunes, and Director Roberto de Andrade.

Weekly, Cifut provides reports for managers, with athletes seeking profile fit. When a name grabs attention, a more in-depth analysis of the athlete is drawn up. This also happens with players recommended by managers and please.

On vacation with his family on the north coast of São Paulo, coach Sylvinho takes part in this long-distance search. He is in frequent contact with the leadership of Corinth, and all decisions pass through his scrutiny.

Corinthians have not given up hiring Cavani yet, but have continued with cautious rhetoric to avoid creating expectations among the masses. According to the Argentine channel “TyC”, the Uruguayan has the right to defend Barcelona starting next year. Remember that the striker’s contract with Manchester United is only valid until mid-2022.

In addition to turning the attack, Timon wants to strengthen the team with a defender.

So far, the only boost Corinthians have announced for next season is defensive midfielder Paulinho, an idol who has returned to the club after eight and a half years.
