The free agent is in talks over his next transfer.

Jesse Lingard is reportedly in advanced talks over his next move, which would mean a reunion with a former Man United teammate, as per reports.

Without a club since December, he departed FC Seoul after two seasons, in which he scored 19 goals in 67 appearances.

The 33-year-old published that he and FC Seoul "mutually agreed" an exit and described the time there as "an unforgettable experience and one I will always value".

Since departure, Lingard has reportedly held discussions with Brazilian side Rema after their promotion to Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A and also receives interest from MLS clubs.

Now though, it appears Lingard is close to a move to Corinthians, one of the giants of Brazil.

ESPN Brazil say that negotiations are at an advanced stage for the former United player to sign a one year deal.

This would mean a reunion with former teammate Memphis Depay, who also currently plays for the club.

The two played alongside each other in the 2015/16 campaign at the Red Devils, where they featured in the same lineup 31 times.

The Netherlands hero joined the Sao Paulo side in 2024, where he signed a two-year contract after leaving Atletico Madrid.
