Memphis passes medical and nears new Corinthians deal | OneFootball

Memphis passed his medical and now needs only to sign before being unveiled again as a Corinthians player, with a contract to mid-2028.

According to Globo.com, all tests returned positive, clearing the way for formalities, while president Osmar Stabile has not commented.

He is expected at Neo Química Arena on Thursday to be introduced to supporters during the Copa do Brasil last 16 tie against Internacional.

The Dutch forward underwent imaging in a São Paulo hospital on Tuesday, then completed routine medical and physical checks at CT Joaquim Grava on Wednesday.

The examinations carried extra weight amid resistance inside the club, with some councillors and allies of the president saying the tests could reveal issues that might lead doctors to advise against renewal. Memphis’s camp have maintained he is fit and argue the doubts over his condition are political.

Once the deal is signed, the football department plan to have him ready for the first leg against Rosario Central in Rosario on 13 August at 21:30 Brasília time in the Libertadores last 16.

The new agreement reduces salary and bonuses compared with his previous terms and also restructures about R$ 42 million owed from unpaid bonuses, to be paid in four R$ 10.5 million instalments every six months starting in February 2027. Determined to stay, Memphis accepted lower pay and a two-year term after initially seeking three.
