Memphis trains privately with ex-Corinthians fitness coach as future remains undecided | OneFootball

Memphis Depay is maintaining a personal training programme with former Corinthians fitness coach Diego Pereira while his next move remains unresolved. The Dutch forward is working during his holiday amid talks over a possible renewal.

According to Meu Timao, their programme has been labelled "Heart of a Lion", Portuguese "Coração de Leão", built on courage, focus and discipline to keep the striker at a high physical level during this period without matches.

Memphis has shared clips of the routine on social media. On Wednesday morning he posted a video greeting Pereira while receiving a thigh massage with a percussive device used to aid relaxation, circulation and myofascial release.

Pereira worked on Ramón Díaz’s staff at Corinthians, then followed him to Internacional. He remained after the Argentine’s dismissal and left Rio Grande do Sul in June.

Memphis has yet to decide his next steps. His Corinthians contract expires on 31 July, with his representatives in talks over a possible extension, while foreign clubs, including Tigres of Mexico, are monitoring his situation.

He will not report back to Corinthians until a decision on his stay is made, as set by the board. He has been on holiday since the Netherlands’ World Cup campaign ended.
