RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 1 (Xinhua) -- Brazilian Serie A giants Corinthians have signed Colombian midfielder Victor Cantillo as they reinforce their squad for the 2020 season.
Corinthians agreed to pay Junior Barranquilla three million U.S. dollars for the 26-year-old, who will be tied to the Sao Paulo club until 2024, the UOL news portal said.
Cantillo is seen to be a direct replacement for Junior Urso, who left Corinthians to join Orlando City earlier this week.
He is the second high-profile signing for Corinthians in the past month following the arrival of forward Luan Vieira from Gremio.
Corinthians finished eighth in the 2019 Brazilian Serie A standings, 34 points behind champions Flamengo.
