SAO PAULO (AP) — Netherlands forward Memphis Depay plans to “react strongly” after saying that Brazilian club Corinthians did not honor an agreement to extend his contract.
Depay said on social media he was “very disappointed” to find out Corinthians decided “not to honor our agreement in place to extend my contract for 2 more years.”
“This renewal was explicitly agreed upon by the president as well as the sporting, legal and financial department,” he said. “Some people decided however to breach this engagement...”
Depay joined Corinthians in 2024 and helped the club win the Brazilian Cup last year.
“I didn’t want this situation and always respected the club throughout the process, but now I am forced to react strongly in order to preserve my interests,” he said. “In the upcoming days I will speak publicly but rest assured that I will not leave this unacceptable behaviour unsanctioned.”
Corinthians said it made the decision not to extend the contract because of financial considerations.
