André is leaving Corinthians; the player has travelled to Portugal to undergo medical examinations at Sporting.
Spared from the game on Monday against Vitória in the Brazilian Championship, André is practically out of Corinthians. The striker traveled to Lisbon on the afternoon of Monday for medical tests and sign a five-year contract with Sporting. Agent Fernando Garcia stressed that the desire of the attacker is to play for Sporting and work with coach Jorge Jesus. He said: “André wants to go because of the coach of Sporting. Jorge Jesus is very well regarded here [in Brazil], and all Brazilian players who played with Jesus speak highly of him. And even less credentialed players than André had good seasons with Jesus."
Negotiation values ​​were not disclosed, but Corinthians should use the transfer to pay off a debt they have from the transfer of midfielder Elias in 2014. Corinthians owe two instalments of €1 million each to Sporting, and the value can be deducted from the sale of the player. Along with midfielder Giovanni Augusto, André came to Corinthians from Atlético Mineiro in January, but could score just six goals from 29 appearances.
