Memphis tops X trends as Corinthians saga rumbles on | OneFootball

Memphis dominated discussions on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday night as his Corinthian saga continued to grip supporters. The phrase "MEMPHIS NO CORINTHIANS" led the platform’s trending topics.

The club said in a statement on Tuesday, signed by president Osmar Stabile, that Memphis’s exit had been decided, citing the financial situation. The forward had agreed to cut his wages and forgo other contractual benefits to stay until July 2028.

Although the statement confirmed there would be no renewal, the situation could yet move, with pressure on Stabile since Tuesday potentially reopening talks. The hashtag #RenunciaStabile also trended in fourth.

Interest surged beyond social media, with Google searches for the Dutchman in Brazil up 360% since Monday, around four times previous levels.

Memphis Depay joined Corinthians in September 2024 during the club’s fight against relegation. He has played 79 matches, contributing 35 goals and assists combined, with 20 goals and 15 assists, and won the Campeonato Paulista, Copa do Brasil and Supercopa do Brasil.
