Campeonato Brasileiro joint leaders Corinthians have sold striker Jo to the GSI business group, which will find him a club in Portugal.

The deal was worth more than US$5 million to Corinthians and Jo should find out who he will play for on Monday.

He will make his farewell to Corinthians fans on Sunday during the Campeonato match with Botafogo.
