Memphis Depay has decided his Corinthians future, says Labyad | OneFootball

With little time left on his contract, Memphis Depay still has an uncertain future at Corinthians, but he already has a final decision in mind. The information was revealed by forward Zakaria Labyad, a teammate and friend of the No. 10, in an interview with ESPN Netherlands.

“He already knows (the decision about his future), and I know too… But I’m not going to reveal it. What I can say is that the club and the player want to continue together. So, I hope things work out,” said the player.

“When he arrived here, Corinthians was in the relegation zone… After he arrived, they finished in 8th place and won three titles. For me, for the club, and for the people of Brazil, Memphis is the greatest player in the Brazilian Championship,” concluded the Corinthians player.

Will he stay or not?

Under contract until the middle of the season, Memphis Depay remains unavailable as he is still recovering from an injury and preparing to return to the pitch, already with an eye on the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in June in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.

According to information gathered by Central do Timão, the Dutchman would like to stay at Corinthians, while the club’s football department would also be in favor of keeping the forward. However, for a new deal to happen, the player would need to reduce the amount he receives, and a partner company would need to cover the star’s salary.
