Glitch ‘wipes’ Memphis from Corinthians in CBF and FPF systems, explained | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Monday (22), Memphis Depay’s contract with Corinthians stopped appearing in the systems of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) and the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF), but the Dutchman’s deal remains valid until July 31.

According to Meu Timão, the absence of the document from the platforms is due to an error made by the club from Parque São Jorge when registering the player in 2024. Corinthians’ board had acknowledged the mistake and was expected to correct it, but so far there has been no update on the case.

The report explains that, at this moment, Memphis would not be able to play for Corinthians. If the contract had been registered correctly, the forward would still have at least three more matches for the club after the World Cup resumes.

For Depay to be able to play normally after the World Cup, in matches against Remo, Bahia and Athletico, Timão needs to regularize the situation with the FPF and the CBF. The correction depends on submitting the correct documents to the São Paulo Football Federation, in addition to a contract addendum signed by the player.

Will he stay?

Under contract only until the end of next month, Memphis Depay has a proposal from Corinthians in hand to extend his deal, but there is still no response. The new contract provides for a salary reduction compared to the amounts he currently receives, as well as a different pay structure.

Memphis at the World Cup

Corinthians forward Memphis Depay took part in the Netherlands’ 5-1 win over Sweden last Saturday (20), in the second round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. Wearing the No. 10 shirt, he came on in the second half and contributed an assist in the Dutch national team’s rout.

With the victory, the Netherlands reached four points and took the lead in World Cup Group F. Japan also has the same number of points, but sits behind on tiebreakers. Sweden and Tunisia are in the bottom positions of the group.

The Dutch national team will wrap up its group-stage campaign next Thursday (25), at 8 p.m. (Brasília time), against Tunisia at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
