Corinthians faces relegation risk and roster crisis

Overview

Corinthians’ struggle to avoid relegation in the Campeonato Brasileiro has intensified. As of November 2026, the club sits in 17th place with 37 points. To reach the projected safety threshold of 45 points, the team needs approximately eight points from its final four matches against Botafogo, Grêmio, Atlético-MG, and Remo.

Relegation would carry severe financial implications, with potential losses in television rights, sponsorships, and commercial revenue estimated between R$ 80 million and R$ 150 million. This follows a reported deficit of R$ 246 million for the first half of the year and ongoing issues regarding transfer bans and image rights payments.

Compounding the sporting struggle is a severe roster crisis. Ahead of the match against Botafogo, the team faces up to nine absences. Key players Yuri Alberto, Matheus Pereira, and André Ramalho are sidelined due to suspensions, while Rodrigo Garro, Raniele, and Jesse Lingard are managing various injuries.

Administratively, the club is preparing for presidential elections on November 28. Candidates André Castro, Ilmar Schiavenato, José Augusto Mendes, and Rozallah Santoro will compete, following the disqualification of Sérgio Janikian by the Electoral Commission.
