Brazilian media He reported on the 14th (Korea Standard Time) 'Mateus Moraes, a striker from the third division Maringa, is approaching an agreement with Japan's J1 Albirex Niigata' The media reported that Moraes scored a team-high 11 goals at Maringa this season. We started negotiations with Suwon FC last month and reached an agreement. However, the contract was canceled' Moraes explained the background so far, saying that while Maringa extended his contract with Maringa until the end of 2028, Korichiba and others sought to recruit him, but negotiations did not progress as Maringa demanded a transfer fee of 5 million reais (about 120 million won). "Maringa is expected to sign a one-year lease with Niigata, and negotiations are close to an agreement," it said. Moraes cites 'failure to issue visas' as the reason for the failure to go to Suwon FC. However, according to K League officials, Moraes' contract was reportedly canceled because he failed to pass both medical tests conducted by Suwon FC.

Niigata is 19th in the relegation zone with 4 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses and 19 points as of now, having played 23 J12 games. As the gap with Shonan Belmare (23 points) in 17th place, the remaining Maginot line, begins to widen, the sense of risk of relegation in the second division is growing. Amid the desperate need to strengthen offensive power, Moraes is dreaming of a rebound with the addition of the team.
Suwon FC is 11th out of 12 teams and in the relegation zone with 3 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses in 20 K League games and 16 points. With 19 goals in 20 games, the average score per game is less than one goal. Willian, Kim Kyung-min, and Andrigo were fully recruited to improve their offense. It was expected that the addition of Moraes would further strengthen the offense. However, Moraes failed to pass both medical tests, ultimately failing to reach a contract.
