Udinese defender Edenilson has reportedly entered discussions to return to his former club Corinthians on loan.

The Brazilian is unable to play for his current employers in Serie A because they have exceeded their quota of non-EU players for the season, Football Italia reports.

Edenilson, who has rejected an offer to train at Udinese without playing, was on the verge of joining Bologna for a six-month loan in January, but the move collapsed.

Corinthians are now expected to take him on loan until June.
