Jesse Lingard's surprise salary at Corinthians revealed as transfer confirmed

Jesse Lingard's salary at Brazilian club Corinthians has reportedly been revealed.

Back in December 2025, it was confirmed that Lingard would leave South Korean side FC Seoul.

Having moved to South Korea back in February 2024, Lingard went on to score 19 goals in 67 appearances for FC Seoul.

He scored on his final match for FC Seoul during a 1-1 draw against Australian A-League outfit Melbourne City in the AFC Champions League Elite.

After leaving South Korea, Lingard was linked with a move back to European Football, with the likes of Feyenoord, West Ham United, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Genoa all mentioned.

However, this week, it was confirmed that Lingard had signed for Brazilian side Corinthians.

The 33-year-old has signed a deal until the end of the year with an option for a further 12 months to be triggered if certain conditions are met.

A statement from the club said: "The English striker arrives at Timão with a link until the end of this year, with the possibility of automatic renewal until the end of 2027 in case of achieving the goals set in the document!"

Lingard is set to be reunited with former Manchester United teammate Memphis Depay, who joined Corinthians back in September 2024 following his departure from Atletico Madrid.

According to Brazilian news outlet R7, Lingard is set to earn a 'mediocre' salary at Corinthians.

Journalist Nicola Jorge stated that the Englishman is set to earn around £86,000 per month.

Speaking upon sealing his move to South America, Lingard said: "First, I saw the fans at the airport saying 'Go, Corinthians! Go, Corinthians!'.

"There is a lot of passion from the fans, which is wonderful to see."

He continued: "The players welcomed me with open arms, the coach, the director, it was great to meet them. My first impressions: very happy, I can't wait to play."

During his prime, Lingard played over 230 matches for United and was capped more than 30 times by England.
