Memphis Depay receives offers and could leave Corinthians, says journalist | OneFootball

The media presence of Memphis Depay at Corinthians may be coming to an end. The 31-year-old Dutch forward has reportedly received three offers from European clubs and is considering leaving Timão to return to the old continent. This information was disclosed by journalist Fabrizio Romano, a specialist in global football transfers.

About to complete a year wearing the Corinthians jersey, Memphis has a contract with the club until the end of 2026. Even in Brazilian football, the forward is still called up by the Netherlands national team and, in the last FIFA date, he became the top scorer in the country's history.

Adapted?

Despite recent controversies, Memphis seems adapted to the Corinthians environment. Off the field, the Dutchman participates in various events around São Paulo, mainly performing in shows with MC Hariel, a Corinthians fan and funk artist with whom he has a great friendship. This weekend, the duo performed in São Paulo's capital and Depay praised Timão on many occasions.

However, some episodes weigh against Memphis. Recently, the Dutchman missed a training session amid the controversy over Corinthians' debt to him regarding the Paulistão prize. In a statement, Timão said they spoke with the player and considered the matter closed.

Finally, the numbers highlight Memphis's importance at Corinthians. A key player in the final stretch of the 2024 Brazilian Championship and in winning this year's Paulistão, the Dutchman has already played 49 matches for the Alvinegro, scoring 15 goals and providing 14 assists.

Memphis has not played since the second leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16 against Palmeiras on August 6. However, the athlete himself indicated on social media that he is close to returning to the field. He may be included in the squad for Corinthians' match against Athletico-PR this Wednesday in Curitiba, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), for the first leg of the national tournament's quarterfinals.
