On the eve of undergoing medical exams at the CT Joaquim Grava, forward Memphis Depay fuels rumors about his stay at Corinthians with mysterious social media posts.
The contract renewal saga between Memphis Depay and Corinthians appears to be entering its final chapter. After more than two months of drawn-out negotiations, the 32-year-old Dutch star stirred up the Alvinegra fanbase this Thursday by publishing an enigmatic message on his Instagram profile. With the phrase “greatness is about to be revealed again,” the player made it clear that the outcome of his stay at Timão might be near.
Expectation at CT Joaquim Grava
Optimism behind the scenes is fueled by the athlete’s scheduled arrival at CT Joaquim Grava today. The player will undergo a rigorous battery of medical exams, a standard club procedure for any signing, which should extend over the next two days. In addition to the text, Memphis also shared a photo sporting a chain with the Corinthians crest, signaling his desire to continue wearing the Alvinegra jersey under Fernando Diniz.
Agreement Details and Physical Caution
“I’m waiting like everyone else… Greatness is about to be revealed again”
Behind the scenes, the understanding between the board and Memphis‘s staff foresees a two-year contract. The main point of the agreement involves the installment payment of a R$ 42 million debt over four installments, with payments starting in February 2026. Despite the advanced agreement, there is caution at Parque São Jorge. Members of Osmar Stabile‘s management express concern about the number 10’s recent injury history, having had limited playing time this season, both for the club and the Dutch national team in the World Cup.
Outlook for the Copa do Brasil
The football department’s schedule anticipates Memphis‘s reintegration into the squad next Monday, after the delegation’s return from Porto Alegre — where Corinthians will face Internacional in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil round of 16. The technical committee’s expectation, should everything go as planned with the exams and work visa regularization, is to count on the forward for the decisive return match on August 6, at the Neo Química Arena. The Fiel fanbase eagerly awaits the significant reinforcement for this decisive stretch of the season.
