Corinthians have 7 players free to sign pre-contracts, here's why | OneFootball

Corinthians is being linked with possible player departures in this transfer window, which opens this month, but the club also needs to sound the alarm with the end of the season and planning for next year already in mind. Timão has seven players whose contracts expire at the end of 2026, meaning they will be able to sign a pre-contract with any team at any time and, in that scenario, would leave the club for free in 2027.

Among the names nearing the end of their contracts are players such as André Ramalho, Jesse Lingard, and André Carrillo, but beyond the players owned by the club, there are also ongoing loans that will expire at the end of the year.

See below the list of Corinthians players whose contracts only run until the end of the season:

Will Memphis renew?

Beyond the names whose contracts end in December, Corinthians also needs to resolve Memphis Depay’s future this month. Timão has already presented the player with a renewal offer, and he is still evaluating the terms of the new agreement. Among the changes being discussed are a reduction in salary and a restructuring of the No. 10’s payment model.

Before the current deal expires, Corinthians has three Brazilian Championship matches scheduled: against Remo on July 23, against Bahia on the 26th, and against Athletico-PR on the 30th.

It is worth remembering that Memphis Depay will not return to Corinthians immediately after the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup. The club granted the No. 10 a vacation period before he reports back to CT Dr. Joaquim Grava, since the player went straight from his commitments with Timão into the Club World Cup without any rest period.
