CORINTHIANS CLINCH DIDA LOAN SWITCH

After being convicted of using a false Portuguese passport, Dida was banned from playing in Italy for the current season and Milan have agreed to the offer by the Brazilian side to allow the keeper to return to his home country.

Corinthians have had a desperate start to the season and are looking to bring in players to help resurrect their fortunes, with Andre Luiz and Felipe two others mentioned.  They are currently 16th in the Brazilian league on 17 points and major changes were always expected.

Dida was a star for Corinthians from 1998-2000 before securing a high-profile move to the Italian giants.  However, all has not gone well in Milan, with Dida showing spectacular fluctuations in form.
