According to The Athletic , the English midfielder has agreed a one-year contract with an option to extend for a further year. The former Manchester United star joins Corinthians on a free transfer, despite having previously received numerous offers from MLS teams.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano used the familiar phrase "Here we go" to confirm the deal was complete. "Lingard has chosen a new challenge in Brazil and hopes to regain stability and inspiration after a turbulent period," the Italian journalist added.
Moving to Brazil could be the final turning point in the former Manchester United player's career. Corinthians is considered a suitable destination at the moment. The Sao Paulo-based team has 7 points after the first 4 rounds of the season and has Memphis Depay in their squad, Lingard's former teammate at Manchester United.
In February 2024, the 33-year-old midfielder joined FC Seoul after a short stint with Nottingham Forest. In South Korea, he made 65 appearances and scored 18 goals, a respectable record for a player whose motivation had previously been questioned.
Having come through Manchester United's youth academy, Lingard made 232 appearances for the first team. In the 2017/18 season, Lingard scored 8 goals and provided 6 assists in the Premier League under Jose Mourinho, becoming a key player in the squad. He also scored the winning goal that helped United beat Crystal Palace in the 2016 FA Cup final. After that, Lingard gradually lost his form.
