Corinthians president says Memphis decided to leave the hotel | OneFootball

The president of Corinthians, Osmar Stabile, said this Wednesday that it was Memphis Depay who offered to leave the luxury hotel where he resides in São Paulo. The rent for the Dutch striker’s apartment costs the club R$ 250,000 per month.

“That came from him [Memphis]. He said he wanted to help Corinthians reduce expenses. It was Memphis’s idea. The press is saying it came from Corinthians, but that’s not true. There is a contract and we will honor it as it is. If Memphis wants to bring this benefit to Corinthians, we gladly accept it,” said Stabile at the Cícero de Souza Marques Stadium, after Timão’s defeat to Red Bull Bragantino.

The president’s version contradicts the minutes from a Cori (Advisory Council) meeting held on October 29. The document states that Osmar spoke with Memphis and explained the need for the player to move to a cheaper accommodation.

Debt with Memphis

In the same meeting, Osmar Stabile confirmed to Cori that Corinthians’ debt to Memphis Depay is around R$ 23 million.

“We spoke with him, it’s not documented yet. As soon as resources are available, we will pay,” said the Corinthians president.

In mid-September, the club’s management reached an agreement with the Dutchman’s staff to pay the overdue bonuses and signing fees. The outstanding amount would be settled in installments, as follows:
