Gustavo Mosquito terminates contract with Corinthians

The attacker Gustavo Mosquito managed, through an injunction, to terminate his contract with the Corinthians. The Labor Court's decision, as a matter of urgency, allowed the player to obtain release from the CBF.

Confirmation of the termination was published in the CBF's BID (Daily Information Bulletin) on Wednesday afternoon (17). Corinthians has already announced that it will appeal the decision. It is worth noting that the termination does not imply that Mosquito has won the legal case; the merits of the case will still be judged.

Mosquito had been away from the squad since July 3, when he filed a request for termination of his contract in court, alleging delays in the payment of FGTS (Guarantee Fund for Length of Service) and image rights.

In addition to Gustavo Mosquito, the striker Arthur Sousa also took legal action to terminate his contract due to the club's debts. However, Sousa's requests for an injunction were denied. A hearing between Arthur Sousa and Corinthians was scheduled for the end of August.

Trajectory at Corinthians

Gustavo Mosquito has played 27 matches this season, starting in the Derby against Palmeiras on July 1, two days before the legal proceedings began. At 26 years old, the forward is one of the most experienced players in the squad, having played 176 games for Corinthians.
