Memphis Depay already wants to leave Corinthians, according to reports from Italy. The thirty-year-old attacker from Moordrecht is said to have offered himself to Al-Nassr, Juventus and Sevilla. Memphis would prefer to return to a top European competition.
On September 9, Memphis signed a two-year contract with Corinthians. The 98-time Dutch international already seems to regret that decision. Due to unforeseen circumstances at Corinthians, Memphis already wants to leave Brazil.
Memphis’ salary at Corinthians is largely paid by Esportes da Sorte. Financial problems mean that the gambling company wants to withdraw sponsorship, which is why people in Brazil expect Memphis’ contract to be terminated.
In the background, Memphis himself would already be working on his next challenge. The right winger is said to have offered himself to Al-Nassr, Juventus and Sevilla. Memphis has a strong preference for LaLiga and Serie A.
If Memphis leaves Corinthians soon, his Brazilian adventure will go down as an absolute flop. So far he has played 163 minutes across 4 appearances. Memphis was unable to score yet, but did provide two assists.
Since his transfer to Corinthians, Memphis has not yet been called up by national coach Ronald Koeman. During a press moment last week, the selector was asked about the current status.
“The status is that Memphis has to play more to be in the picture. He also needs to be fitter. I was happy the other morning to read that he had played 85 minutes, but he needs to play more. He has to play well and be fit,” said Koeman.
