Giovane, a forward at Corinthians, is currently in a contractual stalemate with the club as they have not managed to finalize an agreement for his renewal. Towards the end of the Brazilian Championship, the technical staff decided to sideline him. There is a chance that Giovane might receive a proposal in January, allowing him to leave the club earlier than planned, which is seen as an ideal situation by both parties involved. Despite having limited chances to play at the professional level, Giovane's worth has increased following his call-ups to the Brazilian under-20 national team. As a result, he was presented with an official proposal from Hellas Verona in August; however, Corinthians' management opted to retain him.
