Arsenal and Chelsea monitor Breno Bidon situation

By on February 4, 2026

Arsenal and Chelsea remain among the clubs keeping a close watch on Corinthians midfielder Breno Bidon, according to Somos Fanaticos.

The Brazilian club are aware of enquiries from Europe but remain calm about his future for now.

Corinthians believe they still control the situation and see no immediate need to consider a sale.

Their stance has been reinforced by the club’s football executive, Marcelo Paz, who addressed the reports directly.

Corinthians calm amid growing interest

Paz spoke to Globo Esporte after Corinthians’ Super Cup victory over Flamengo, where he explained the club’s position.

“He has a very strong contract, a secure deal, with a long time left at Corinthians. He’s receiving enquiries, but he’s unlikely to leave in this window,” he said.

The executive made it clear that Bidon remains protected by a solid agreement with the club. Corinthians feel comfortable due to the length and strength of the midfielder’s contract.

He explained that European clubs usually act with more force later in the year.

“The mid-year window is when squads in Europe really take shape. It’s a more aggressive window, with more movement,” he explained.

“For now, we’re going to enjoy Bidon as much as possible.”

Those comments underline Corinthians’ plan to keep Bidon involved for as long as they can.

Arsenal and Chelsea remain attentive

Arsenal and Chelsea continue to stand out as the most serious names linked with Bidon so far. Reports from Somos Fanaticos have kept the London interest in focus in recent weeks.

Chelsea are the only club mentioned as having made a reported offer at this stage. Arsenal, on the other hand, have limited their approach to enquiries rather than formal bids.

Both Premier League sides remain alert but have not taken steps to force Corinthians into action.

Corinthians see Bidon as one of their most valuable assets at the moment. As per the report, his release clause for foreign clubs is set at £86m, reflecting his importance to the squad.

The board are targeting strong revenue from player sales, but only on their own terms. For now, Corinthians are focused on the present and keeping their key players in place.

Arsenal and Chelsea are expected to continue monitoring developments closely.
