Lin Huang heads to the Brazilian Serie A? Romano: Corinthians likely to sign 33-year-old English midfielder Lingard on a free transfer

Jesse Lingard has departed from FC Seoul in the Korean K League and is now a free agent. The 33-year-old English attacking midfielder is likely to join the Brazilian Serie A next.

According to the latest report from Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Brazilian giants Corinthians are in deep negotiations with Lingard for a free transfer. Corinthians are very interested in signing Lingard without a fee, and talks have entered the final stages. The club hopes to secure the former Manchester United attacker quickly, as several MLS clubs are also keen on signing him for free. Corinthians aim to sign Lingard first to strengthen their offensive capabilities in the forward line.

Lingard is a product of the Manchester United academy and has played for several Premier League clubs.His career stats: 35 goals and 21 assists in 232 appearances for Manchester United; 9 goals and 5 assists in 16 games for West Ham United; 2 goals and 2 assists in 20 matches for Nottingham Forest; 19 goals and 10 assists in 67 appearances for FC Seoul; 6 goals and 5 assists in 32 caps for the England national team.. Lingard displayed highly efficient football during his time at West Ham United but did not join permanently due to high salary demands. Now, having left the Korean K League, he is expected to move to the Brazilian Serie A.

The 33-year-old Lingard stands 1.74 meters tall, is right-footed, primarily plays as an attacking midfielder, and can also operate as a winger. His current market value is estimated at €2.2 million. It's never too late for a prodigal son to return. As a 33-year-old veteran, though he has left the Premier League, Lingard continues to pursue his football dreams while also securing more earnings for his future.
