With practically everything agreed, it is a matter of time for Chrystian Barletta, from São Bernardo, to become a reinforcement for Corinthians in the season, and Palmeiras can accelerate the outcome of the negotiation.
That’s because the 21-year-old striker will arrive at Timão when Bernô is eliminated from Paulistão or after playing in a possible final, and Verdão will face São Bernardo in the quarterfinals of Paulistão.
If Abel Ferreira’s men advance to the next stage, the last details of the negotiation for Barletta can be finalized next week, with the teams making the announcement official. According to LANCE!, Corinthians will acquire 50% of the athlete’s rights, who will sign a three-year contract. The values of the negotiation remain confidential by both parties involved.
Even in this scenario, the striker could not defend Timão in the Paulistão knockout stage, as the deadline for adding players to the competition list is March 10, before the start of the semifinals. However, Barletta would already be introduced and would train with the group, knowing the methodology of coach Fernando Lázaro and his coaching staff.
On the other hand, at the request of the alvinegro club, the 21-year-old striker was not listed by coach Márcio Zanardi in the confrontation between São Bernardo and Náutico, for the first phase of the Copa do Brasil. Thus, he is ready to compete in this year’s competition for Timão, which enters the third phase of the tournament.
With four goals and an assist, Chrystian Barletta was one of the highlights of Paulistão and responsible for the surprising campaign of São Bernardo, which finished the state in 2nd overall.
