If Instagram is to be trusted, Corinthians winger Giovanni Piccolomo is on trial with Toronto FC.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
Or maybe more. The player has posted several photos of himself with Gilberto at Real Sports from this week and his Instagram (Gipiccolomo) profile reads "Atleta profissional do sport club Corinthians. Paulista. Atualmente no Toronto FC. Abencoado por deus."
Roughly translated, it says "Professional athlete with Corinthians...Currently in Toronto FC. Blessed by God."
CSN reached out to TFC for comment. We will update if we hear back.
Piccolomo is just 20. He has made 8 appearances with Corinthians since 2012, scoring once. He's also been on loan with Associação Atlética Ponte Preta of Serie B, where he made 9 appearances.
