Corinthians explores market alternatives to secure Memphis Depay renewal | OneFootball

Corinthians are exploring options to try to extend the stay of forward Memphis Depay, whose current contract with the club expires in June this year. Internally, the board is seeking financial alternatives to make it possible for the player to remain in the squad.

According to information published by Meu Timão and confirmed by Central do Timão, the club has begun talks with companies in the market with the aim of finding partners who can help cover the costs involved in the No. 10’s contract. So far, there has been no concrete decision, but discussions are ongoing.

Memphis Depay, in turn, has shown openness to discussing his continuation at Parque São Jorge. The expectation is that any negotiations will move forward in the coming weeks, possibly during the World Cup period.

Before going deeper into any agreement with the forward, Corinthians are working to resolve outstanding financial issues related to the signing of midfielder Rodrigo Garro. The board understands that concluding this process is an important step before moving forward with renewal talks.

The contract signed with the player in September 2024 includes different financial components, such as wages, image rights, performance bonuses, and signing fees. Part of these costs is currently covered by the club’s main sponsor.

Memphis is currently the only player in the squad whose contract is valid only until the middle of the season. The deal expires on June 20, 2026, which leaves the board with a short deadline to decide on the player’s future at the club.
