Stay or go? Memphis Depay enters final month with Corinthians | OneFootball

Out of the World Cup and still without a decision on his renewal, Memphis Depay has officially entered the final month of his contract with Corinthians. At the club since 2024, the Dutchman’s deal is valid only until July 31.

Timão has already presented the player with a contract renewal proposal, and he is still evaluating the terms of the new agreement. Among the changes under discussion are a reduction in salary and a restructuring of the No. 10’s payment model.

While discussing the contract renewal, Corinthians also needs to resolve a bureaucratic issue involving the player’s registration. Although the deal is valid until the end of July, the contract incorrectly appears as having ended in June in the São Paulo Football Federation (FPF) system, a situation that will have to be corrected so Memphis can play normally in the upcoming matches.

Until the end of the current contract, Corinthians have 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 noting 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 to the World Cup without any rest period.

Memphis at the World Cup

The Netherlands were eliminated on the night of last Monday (29). After a 1-1 draw with Morocco in regular time and extra time in Monterrey, Mexico, the Dutch were beaten 3-2 in the penalty shootout and knocked out of the tournament. During the group stage, the team finished top of Group F with seven points, two wins, one draw, ten goals scored, and four conceded.

Memphis played in three World Cup matches. The forward came on in the 2-2 draw against Japan, played 18 minutes in the 5-1 win over Sweden, when he provided an assist, and was also on the field for 13 minutes in the 3-1 victory over Tunisia. In the knockout match against Morocco, however, the player remained on the bench for the full 90 minutes and also during extra time.
