Memphis Depay's controversial post sparks Corinthians exit fears | OneFootball

At the beginning of the afternoon this Saturday (11), Corinthians forward Memphis Depay made a controversial post on his social media, causing a stir among the black-and-white supporters on the eve of the Derby against Palmeiras in the 2026 Brazilian Championship.

In the post, the forward shared an image showing a man hanging from a tree over a lake with the following options: “Stay at my job,” a phrase written on the drawing of a snake; “Leave without any plan B,” written in the mouth of a lion; and finally the phrase “Change jobs” in the mouths of crocodiles.

The post caused an uproar, since Memphis Depay only has a contract with Corinthians until June 30, and his stay is seen as uncertain within Timão due to financial issues involving the contract signed during Augusto Melo’s administration, in addition to the club’s debts to the player, which already exceed 40 million reais.

Memphis Depay remains injured, recovering from a grade 2 muscle injury in his right thigh, and his return date is still uncertain. He will likely only be able to play in May, meaning he will have had only a few matches under the command of Corinthians’ new coach, Fernando Diniz. This season, the Dutchman has made only 12 appearances, with one goal and one assist, numbers below what the coaching staff and board expected.
