Jesse Lingard holds talks with historic South American club – and could join  former Man United team-mate

Jesse Lingard is continuing to evaluate offers after further talks with Corinthians in Brazil.

The historic Brazilian club, who also boast another former Manchester United player, Memphis Depay, among their ranks, have been discussing an offer for free agent Lingard over recent weeks.

There has also been interest from Remo and Curitiba but the stature of Corinthians is understandably appealing to the former England international as he contemplates his next move.

The 33-year-old has been a free agent since leaving Seoul in December and has held talks with a number of clubs over the past two months.

West Ham, Wolves and Genoa are among those to have discussed Lingard and there remains interested parties in La Liga and the MLS.

Lingard and his representatives had been looking to make a decision by the end of this weekend and talks are ongoing.

Lingard, who made over 230 appearances for Manchester United and amassed 32 caps for England prior to 2022, finished his last season with Seoul having scored 13 goals in 41 appearances. 

He made his final appearance for the club on December 10, scoring in a 1–1 draw against Melbourne City in the league stage of the AFC Champions League Elite.
