Promising to speak out in the coming days with details of the situation, Memphis said that "the renewal had been agreed with president Osmar Stabile, as well as by the sporting, legal and financial departments."
According to the Dutchman, "some people decided to break that commitment."
Finally, Memphis Depay assured that he will "respond firmly" and promised: "(...) rest assured that I will not let this unacceptable behavior go unpunished."
"I am very disappointed to learn that Corinthians decided not to honor the agreement we had to extend my contract for two more years. This renewal had been explicitly agreed by the president, as well as by the sporting, legal and financial departments. However, some people decided to break this commitment...
I did not want this situation and I always respected the club throughout the process, but I now find myself forced to respond firmly to protect my interests. In the coming days I will speak publicly, but know that I will not let this unacceptable conduct go unanswered".
Football director Marcelo Paz, a few weeks ago, gave interviews confirming that the renewal with Depay was "well on track."
So much so that coach Fernando Diniz said in a press conference that he was eager to count on Memphis Depay again.
Corinthians' debt to Memphis Depay is around R$ 42 million to R$ 44 million in principal amounts (signing bonus, performance and title bonuses, and image rights), but it could reach R$ 77 million if interest, fines and contractual adjustments are included.
The amount refers not only to the Dutchman's salary, but also unpaid installments of contractual signing bonuses, bonuses for goals/assists and titles (Paulista-2025, Copa do Brasil-2025 and Supercopa Rei-2026), as well as image rights.
