O zagueiro Cacá, que pertence ao Tokushima Vortis, do Japão, e está cedido ao Athletico-PR até o meio do ano, entrou na mira do Corinthians. A diretoria alvinegra busca um empréstimo com opção de compra já estipulada. A informação é do UOL.

O Corinthians quer fechar a contratação até sexta-feira (16) para poder inscrever Cacá na primeira fase do Paulistão. O zagueiro de 24 anos vinha sendo utilizado pelo Athletico-PR na temporada passada, mas perdeu espaço após a chegada do técnico Juan Carlos Osorio e vem treinando separado no Furacão.

Desta forma, o clube paranaense não irá exercer a opção de compra estipulada em 3 milhões de dólares (R$ 15 milhões na cotação atual), e deve abrir caminho para o Corinthians negociar os termos com o staff do atleta.

Cacá despontou no Cruzeiro e foi vendido ao futebol japonês por R$ 10,7 milhões, assinando contrato até o fim de 2025. Pelo Athletico-PR, o zagueiro de 24 anos soma 20 jogos e dois gols.

A contratação de mais um zagueiro se tornou prioridade no Corinthians após a inesperada saída de Lucas Veríssimo. Nesta janela de transferências, a diretoria alvinegra já contratou Félix Torres e Gustavo Henrique para o setor.

Manchester United might be in the market for a striker during the January transfer window. The Red Devils signed Benjamin Sesko over the summer, but he picked up a knee injury during their most recent Premier League clash, a 2-2 draw away to Tottenham Hotspur.

Even if that blow doesn’t prove to be a severe one, as is expected, the Red Devils could still be in need of a new number nine in the winter window. When Sesko is absent or injured, it leaves Joshua Zirkzee as the only senior striker in the squad – although 17-year-old Chido Obi could also be called upon.

It seems as though Ruben Amorim’s side may have a centre-forward in mind if they dip into the market.

United’s centre-forward target

At this stage, it is unclear how much INEOS will put into the transfer kitty for Amorim to dip into in the January market. However, there has been a clear plan to back the Portuguese, so there could well be funds made available.

If that is the case, the Red Devils could be looking to win the battle to sign Brazilian striker Vitor Roque. The 20-year-old is someone United are racing to sign, according to Pete O’Rourke, transfer correspondent for Football Insider.

However, they will not be the only Premier League club looking to sign the striker in a couple of months.

Londoners Chelsea and Spurs are in the frame too, although it could be a deal that is ignited “more in the summer” if reports are to be believed. As for a price, reports in Spain indicated that he could cost as much as £44m.

Why Roque would be a good signing

Whether this is a move that happens in January or the summer, there is no doubt that United would be buying an exciting young talent. Although he struggled during his first stint in Europe at Barcelona, Roque has proven he has plenty of ability since.

Nowadays, the one-cap Brazilian international is plying his trade back in his home country, for Palmeiras. His form has been impressive in 2025, too. In 52 games across all competitions, Roque has found the back of the net 20 times and assisted five goals.

In the Brazilian top flight, the 20-year-old has played his best football. He’s made 30 appearances in the competition this calendar year, bagging 16 times, at better than a goal every other game.

Described as an “unstoppable” force by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, Roque’s underlying numbers back up how well he has played.

For example, he’s averaging 0.76 goals per game, which places him in the top 6% of Brazilian top-flight strikers.

If this deal gets over the line, it could be like the second coming of Matheus Cunha for United. Roque’s fellow Brazilian has not set the world alight in terms of goals and assists, with just one to his name so far against Brighton and Hove Albion.

But, he has still played superbly, and shown exactly why United paid the £62.5m fee to Wolverhampton Wanderers. After a wonderful performance away to Liverpool, journalist Sam Pilger described him as “an incredible signing” for the Red Devils.

If United were to sign Roque, they would love for him to have such an impact, even if he wasn’t able to chip in with goals and assists as much as you might expect. There are similarities between the Palmeiras star and United’s new number 10, with both exciting Brazilian forwards who can be a real difference maker.

For a fee of £44m, this is certainly an interesting move for the Red Devils. They may need him in January, but if they end up getting him in the summer, Roque could be an exciting addition to their attack, just as Cunha has been so far this season.

With Sesko scoring just twice so far this term, injury or not, the Old Trafford side could be in need of a suitable rival in that number nine berth.

تحدث النجم المصري محمد أبو تريكة لاعب منتخب مصر والأهلي السابق، خلال الأستوديو التحليلي بشبكة قنوات “بي إن سبورتس”، عن محمد صلاح جناح ليفربول، ومدربه آرني سلوت، ومستوى الفريق وسبب تراجعه، ودور المحترف المصري في ذلك.

وقال أبو تريكة: “سلوت أصبح يقدم أعذارًا كثيرة، أمامه 20 مباراة حتى شهر مارس، عليه تحسين الفريق والنظر لنفسه، وليس الحديث عن المنافسين والتحكيم والأرض”.

وأضاف: “تحدث (يقصد سلوت) وركز في فرقيك فقط، هو مطالب بالتعاقد مع مدافع في انتقالات يناير، لا يوجد خط في ليفربول بحالته الطبيعية، لا الدفاع ولا خط الوسط ولا الهجوم، جميعهم بهم مشاكل لا تليق بالمستوى ولا المركز الحالي بحامل لقب الموسم الماضي”.

وردًا على إمكانية الربط بين تراجع مستوي ليفربول وتراجع مستوى محمد صلاح، رد أبو تريكة: “صلاح ليس متراجعًا وحده، الفريق بأكلمه وجميع خطوط الفريق متراجعة، في مرحله من المراحل يجب على الفريق أن يدعم نجمه وليس العكس”.

وأوضح: “في الفترة السابقة صلاح تحمل مسؤولية الفريق، والآن دور الفريق والصفقات الجديدة هي التي تدعم وتلعب كرة، هناك في الفريق العديد من اللاعبين الموهوبين ذات الجودة العالية، هؤلاء اللاعبون يقدمون أعلى المستويات مع منتخبات بلادهم”.

وأكمل: “شاهدت فلوريان فيرتز مع منتخب ألمانيا، تواجد في كل مكان بالملعب، يلعب وهو سعيد ومستمتع باللعب، العيب لا يكمن في اللاعبين ولكن في المدرب، على سلوت النظر لفريقه، وليس للمنافسين، عليه محاولة تنظيم لعبه”.

وأشار: “بالنسبة لصلاح الناس تتحدث عنه أرقامه، هذه أرقام عظيمة ومهولة في أقوي دوري في العالم يتحمل مسؤولية الفريق منذ 8 مواسم، تراجع مستواه له أسباب عديدة، وهذا التراجع ليس هو السبب الوحيد فيه”.

وتابع: “يقول الناس صلاح هو السبب، حسنًا فلننظر ماذا سيحدث لليفربول خلال تواجد صلاح مع منتخب مصر في كأس أمم إفريقيا، سيغيب عنهم حوالي 6 أو 7 مباريات.. الفريق سيكون جيدًا في هذه الفترة، وسأخبركم لماذا”.

وأتم: “لأن سلوت من نوعية المدربين الذين حين يملكون عدة خياريات، يشعر بالتشتت، الآن الإصابات وصلاح سيتواجد في أمم إفريقيا، سيحمد الله حتى يركز وسيقول الحمد لله كي يركز ويضع تشكيلاً، وجدول المباريات سيساعده وسيحسن ترتيبه في جدول الدوري”.

Fast bowler gearing up for the likely knockout game against Bangladesh on Thursday

Aaron: Pakistan using three pacers up top made the difference

Fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has rejected the notion that the Pakistan T20I side was in any kind of downturn, pointing out that they had won all but one of their previous four series.Speaking after his three-wicket haul against Sri Lanka, which took Pakistan to victory in Abu Dhabi and put them within one win of playing back-to-back T20 Asia Cup finals, he said the team was “ready to face whoever” in their pursuit of a first Asia Cup title in 13 years.”It’s not that we’re not winning,” Afridi said. “We’ve won most of our last dozen games. It’s true we haven’t won against higher-ranked teams, but most of our recent games haven’t been against them. We were here to win the tri-nation series, and we won that. We are here to win the Asia Cup, and that’s all we’re focused on now.”In Abu Dhabi against Sri Lanka, it was the different tactical approach Pakistan took while bowling that stood out. For the first time in 13 matches, no powerplay over was bowled by a spinner. Medium pacer Hussain Talat was given three overs and his two wickets in his first over – the eighth of the innings – were among the game’s turning points. Talat later revealed he’d been told he would play a role with the ball, but it represented a departure from Pakistan’s recent tendency to give spin bowling prime slots through the innings.Related

Abhishek: Didn't like Pakistan 'coming at us without any reason'

Afridi, who bowled three overs in the powerplay on Tuesday, said it did not mean Pakistan’s quicks were playing second fiddle to the slower bowlers. “I don’t think our fast bowlers are struggling, but in T20 cricket on good wickets, batters have the license to go after the quick bowlers. We’ve been trying to vary our bowling more, and that’s something I’m working on. We were getting swing. Early on, I got breakthroughs, removing two of their main players. That’s the kind of attacking cricket we want to play – get your main bowlers on and finish the game quickly.Despite an upcoming game against Bangladesh on Thursday, which could be a knockout for a place in the final, attention has already begun to focus on Sunday. The possibility of a first India-Pakistan final in the Asia Cup is suddenly looking a lot more likely. Afridi, too, had his eye on it but repeatedly pointed out that neither side had made it that far yet.Shaheen Shah Afridi: ‘I don’t think our fast bowlers are struggling’•AFP/Getty Images

“Bangladesh has been playing good cricket of late,” he said of the only team to have denied Pakistan a T20I series win in the last four months. “Whenever you play such teams, you should try to strike first. You shouldn’t give them an opportunity. We’ll have to perform well in all three departments if we are to get past them.”The previous game did represent a stark contrast to Pakistan’s demeanor when compared to the one on Sunday. While there were warm handshakes and even embraces between the Pakistan and Sri Lanka players, against India, there appeared to be a coordinated intent to show their more bellicose side. There were several verbal spats on the field, particularly between India’s openers and Pakistan’s pace bowlers. The increased belligerence from Pakistan did not go unremarked upon by Indian opener Abhishek Sharma, who said Pakistan was “coming at us without any reason.”Following the game, India captain Suryakumar Yadav couldn’t resist a dig at the opposition, saying India’s recent dominance meant the game no longer constituted a rivalry. Afridi resisted the temptation to hit back when offered an opportunity.”That’s his opinion; let him say what he wants. Neither they nor we are in the final. We’ll see how things shape up for the final. We’re just here to win the Asia Cup, and we’ll give our all for that.”

One of the targets Leeds United have for the January transfer window seems to be a new striker. Despite bringing Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha in for free over the summer, they have been lacklustre in front of goal, and are now set to sign a new number nine.

Indeed, that player could be Troy Parrott. The former Tottenham Hotspur star is said to be a key target for the Whites going into the winter transfer window.

However, the 49ers will not have a clear run at his signature, with Wolverhampton Wanderers also keen on the £20m-rated star.

Indeed, the Irish international is a man in excellent goalscoring form, sparking such interest.

Why Leeds want to sign Parrott

£20m is a small fee in the current transfer market, and Parrott certainly seems like he’d be worth that sort of price. The 23-year-old has been in excellent goalscoring form this season for both his club, Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar, and his country, Ireland.

For the Dutch top-flight side, the Spurs academy graduate has bagged an impressive 14 goals in 15 appearances, chipping in with a couple of assists, too. His form in the Eredivisie has been scintillating, with seven goals in eight appearances.

However, what has really stood out of late is Parrott’s form for Ireland.

He became a national hero earlier in the month, bagging five times in just two World Cup qualifiers to help guide his side to the playoffs and keep their dream of going Stateside next summer well and truly alive.

The 33-cap Ireland star kicked off November’s qualifiers by scoring twice to sink Portugal in a 2-0 win. Next up was a game against Hungary, in which the centre-forward bagged a remarkable hat-trick, scoring the third in stoppage time, to secure a 3-2 win and a playoff spot.

To fund the signing of Ireland’s striker, though, Leeds might first have to sell one of their highest earners.

The player Leeds must now sell

After a summer of heavy spending under the new 49ers regime, there is no saying just how much Leeds will have at their disposal in January.

The reported £20m fee for Parrott isn’t too expensive in the grand scheme of things, but who knows how much the Whites have left in the bank?

Thus, it might be the case that Jack Harrison has to depart the club in January. He has not been in good form this season after returning to the club following two years on loan at Everton, and isn’t necessarily loved by the fans. They even booed him in a preseason friendly upon his return.

Indeed, Harrison has not been the most trusted lieutenant this season under Daniel Farke. He’s played ten times in the Premier League, but has only started once and has racked up just 262 minutes.

Whilst the Stoke-born winger has yet to bag this term, he has scored 34 times and assisted 32 for Leeds across his career.

Perhaps the highlight of that was a hat-trick away to West Ham United back in 2022. However, he simply can’t reach that sort of form nowadays.

As for his time as an Everton player, those were a forgettable couple of seasons. The former Middlesbrough star played 73 games for the Toffees, but could only muster nine goals and assists.

Premier League legend Gary Neville said at the end of last season that his “quality’s been poor” for the Merseysiders.

It is easy to see why Harrison might be the fall guy for Leeds if they are to sell someone. Valued at £10.5m by Transfermarkt, he is also the second-highest earner at the club, on £90k per week, a yearly total of £4.68m.

Selling Harrison this winter could help Leeds raise the funds they need to add to their squad up front. Depth on the left wing is not necessarily an issue, with Noah Okafor and Wilfried Gnonto both fighting it out for a starting spot out there.

If Leeds can help themselves sign Parrott by selling Harrison, a player who hasn’t exactly set the world alight with his form this term, then it might be an excellent piece of business.
