Sport Club Corinthians Paulista has agreed to a contract extension with forward Memphis Depay. Timão’s new deal with the Dutchman runs until July 31, 2028.
Memphis joined the club in September 2024 and, since then, has played 79 matches, scored 20 goals, and was a key player in the team’s last three trophies: the 2025 Paulista Championship and Copa do Brasil — when he scored the title-winning goal against Vasco at the Maracanã — and the 2026 Supercopa Rei.
As a Corinthians player, Memphis became the all-time top scorer and top assist provider in the history of the Netherlands national team: 55 goals and 37 assists.
“A lot of emotions in my head, in my body. First, I’d like to thank everyone who was involved in the renewal process. Of course, Corinthians is huge. I saw it, and everyone saw how big it is. How big we are together. I’m very, very happy. I can’t wait to get back to work. We have many things to fight for. I’m very happy,” said the number 10 in an interview with Corinthians TV.
“It was a long negotiation, but it ended in the best possible way for Corinthians and for Memphis, whom I thank very much for all his effort to stay. We are very happy with the renewal and ready for what’s ahead,” said president Osmar Stabile.
The player already trained at CT Dr. Joaquim Grava this Tuesday (18) and will be available to coach Fernando Diniz for the remainder of the 2026 season.
