According to Globo Esporte, Fabián Balbuena of Paraguayan side Libertad is waiting for a response from Corinthians this Tuesday after talks advanced in recent days. Following Gil’s transfer to Chinese club Shandong Luneng, Corinthians had intensified the search for a new defender. And Fabián Balbuena, Libertadores runner-up in 2014 with Nacional, caught the attention of club coach Tite. Corinthians board ensures that there are three names in sight, but Balbuena was the only one confirmed. Felipe and Yago started in the Paulistão fixture against XV de Piracicaba on Sunday. Club director Eduardo Ferreira said: “We are observing some defenders, and Balbuena is one of the names. We are analyzing the options calmly, because we trust enough in the defenders we have in the squad.”
