Zhi Negan

Guilherme Uillian Silva Inácio, known throughout Corinthians as GuiNegão, had played only two matches for the first team when injuries removed Memphis Depay and Yuri Alberto from the squad. Rather than fill in for a game or two, he held the centre-forward spot for eleven matches, scoring five goals and setting up two more.

He came through Corinthians' academy from the start, having grown up in Itaquera in eastern São Paulo. In 2024 he scored 24 goals combined for the club's under-17 and under-20 sides, adding to youth honours picked up earlier: the Paulista state championship at under-17 level, the Copa Votorantim at under-15, and an international youth tournament in Gyeongju.

He was handed his first-team debut on 1 June 2025, in a goalless draw away to Vitória. The run covering for the club's senior strikers came soon after, and by 2026 he had made 39 appearances for the first team in total, 24 of them in his debut season and 15 more the following year, a spell that also took in a Copa do Brasil semi-final in 2025.

His form drew interest from abroad. In November 2025, Montpellier made an offer of €14 million and Zenit registered interest with a stated asking price of €30 million, but neither move went through, with talks breaking down over payment terms and Corinthians' reluctance to sell. The club instead extended his contract to June 2027, with a release clause set at €100 million.
