Corinthians confirm Memphis is no longer at the club

The “saga” over Memphis Depay’s contract renewal with Corinthians came to an end on the afternoon of this Tuesday (11).

And the 32-year-old Dutch forward is no longer a Timão player.

Corinthians justified the decision by citing the club’s “financial health.”

Talks over a possible renewal resumed after the World Cup, since his contract only ran until June 30.

Memphis had even made an appearance at Corinthians vs. Internacional, in the Copa do Brasil, indicating that the signing was only a matter of time.

He leaves the club after playing 79 matches, with 20 goals and 15 assists. He won the Paulista Championship and the Copa do Brasil in 2025, as well as this year’s Supercopa do Brasil.

The current season consisted of just fourteen matches and one goal before joining the Netherlands national team at the World Cup.

See the full statement below:

Sport Club Corinthians Paulista has decided not to renew Memphis Depay’s contract. This decision was made solely and exclusively in consideration of the financial health of our institution, which requires strict balance and responsibility in the management of available resources.

We would like to express our deep gratitude to player Memphis Depay and his entire staff, who from the beginning of negotiations sought the best possible agreement.

To the player, in particular, the Club is eternally grateful for his dedication and for the results achieved throughout his journey with us, which include 79 matches played, 20 goals scored and, above all, winning three major titles: the Paulista Championship and the Copa do Brasil, in 2025; and the Supercopa Rei, in 2026. These achievements will certainly remain a fundamental part of Corinthians’ history.

We understand that the process extended beyond the traditional deadline, but this was mainly due to the fact that we were dealing with an exceptional athlete.

The Board also recognizes and values the tireless efforts of all the institution’s departments that worked to make the player’s stay possible.

However, after careful analysis, exclusively financial reasons and the commitment to responsible Club management prevailed.

Given Corinthians’ current and future financial obligations, it became clear that taking on a new commitment of this magnitude would not, at this moment, be compatible with the financial balance we need to preserve in order to ensure the institution’s sustainability.

We recognize that this was a difficult decision, but without a doubt a necessary one for the future of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista.

To clarify any possible doubts and discuss this matter in greater detail, the Club will organize a press conference in the coming days, at which president Osmar Stabile will be available to provide all necessary clarifications.

We thank everyone for their understanding and will continue working so that Corinthians remains strong, solid, and victorious.

Sincerely,

Osmar Stabile President Sport Club Corinthians Paulista
