Atlético-MG consults for Corinthians midfielder

With an eye on the ball market, Atlético-MG made a consultation with Corinthians, for a midfielder who has not been used much by coach António Oliveira. As Itatiaia found out this Monday (2), the Minas Gerais club would be interested in Argentine midfielder Fausto Vera, 24 years old.

According to a source at the São Paulo club, there was no offer (financial propos al) from Galo . So far, just a conversation to find out the situation of the player who, for Argentinos Juniors,was managed by Gabriel Milito

Fausto at Corinthians

At Corinthians, Fausto Vera lost space after a great start at the club. In an oscillating 2023, he became the team’s reserve, a position he has rarely left until today.

In January, considering a possible return to football for the midfielder, Corinthians refused an investment from Olympiakos, from Greece, worth sion euros (R$34 millionx milli). Timão intends to recover part of the investment made when signing him, from Argentinos Juniors, when they spent eight million dollars (R$37 million).

Vera’s numbers

In 2024, Fausto Vera participated in 22 matches. With 759 minutes accumulated, he scored a goal and made another assist.

The steering wheel was used this Sunday (2), in the 1-0 defeat to Botafogo . He entered the field with six minutes remaining before regulation time expired. In recent games, in fact, this was the keynote for him: entering the field at “lights out”.

Athletic

The report attempts to contact sources at Atlético-MG , but has not yet received any feedback. It is worth remembering that the club avoids commenting on market speculation and prefers to speak only with a hammer. So far, only attacking midfielder Bernard has been announced by Alvinegro.

In the coming days, defender Junior Alonso will be confirmed as another member of Milito’s squad. He will be purchased from Krasnodar, from Russia, for around R$6 million.
