Corinthians title shot vs Flamengo in Supercopa could backfire | OneFootball

If They Win Against Flamengo, Corinthians Will Have to Give a Large Part of the Prize to Memphis Depay

Corinthians 'sold their soul' to sign Memphis Depay and made a contract with surreal clauses with the Dutch player. Therefore, if the São Paulo team wins the Supercopa do Brasil against Flamengo this Sunday (01), they will face financial loss.

This is because, according to the contract, Memphis is entitled to R$ 4.725 million for any title won by Corinthians. The Supercopa champion will earn R$ 11.55 million. However, with taxes and the prizes that other players would be entitled to, the São Paulo team would suffer a loss.

So, financially speaking, it would be better for Corinthians to finish as runners-up. This is because the runner-up will receive R$ 6.35 million. In other words, the club would not have to pass the money to Memphis or to the other players, only having the tax deduction. The information about the clause was disclosed by the R7 portal.

WHEN WILL THE SUPERCOPA BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND CORINTHIANS TAKE PLACE?

Flamengo and Corinthians will face each other starting at 4 PM (Brasília time) this Sunday (01), at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the nation's capital. Globo will broadcast the game throughout Brazil on open TV, as well as the subscription channel SporTV and GETV (YouTube).

HOW MANY TITLES DOES EACH HAVE IN THE SUPERCOPA?

Flamengo is aiming for their fourth championship, after winning against Athletico-PR (2020), Palmeiras (2021), and Botafogo (2025). Meanwhile, Corinthians is aiming for their second. The São Paulo team lifted the trophy against the Most Beloved in 1991, at Morumbi, when the Supercopa was decided at the home of the previous year's Brazilian champion.
