Brazil's Corinthians are preparing an offer to sign former Villarreal and Selecao striker Nilmar, according to local media reports.

Corinthians coach Mano Menezes has raised the prospect of bringing the 30-year-old to the Sao Paulo club in the coming weeks, Globoesporte reported on Sunday.

Nilmar is a free agent after rescinding his contract with Qatar's El Jaish last month.

His signing would allow Corinthians to negotiate the sale of their Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero, who is reportedly being courted by four English Premier League clubs.
