We reported on Brazilian reports last month suggesting Luizão wants to return to West Ham United under Julen Lopetegui after David Moyes passed him over. Additionally, it was said that the centre back’s group would be open to a move.

After coming from São Paulo, the 22-year-old has not yet played for West Ham’s senior squad since January 2023.

In order to remove the defender from West Ham, Corinthians has now intervened. Globe Esporte, which offers further information on this case, later confirmed the curiosity that Brazilian journalist Samir Carvalho had before expressed.

The Brazilian club has made an offer to sign Luizão on a season-long loan deal, with fewer than two years remaining on his current contract. After considering the offer, the Premier League team said yes.

The purchase option and any potential sale proceeds are allegedly the subjects of negotiations between West Ham and Corinthians. It’s anticipated that these specifics will be worked out.

The West Ham defender would gain greater playing time and maybe advance with a move to Corinthians.
