The club's statement earlier this month that Memphis Depay's contract would not be renewed sparked speculation about the Dutch forward's future at Corinthians. However, Stabile has revealed that the negotiations continued after the statement and ultimately resulted in Memphis Depay signing a contract extension. "There was no political pressure," Stabile stressed, attributing the media's portrayal of the situation to exaggeration. He explained that the club's football department and coach were informed before the decision was made, and that the negotiations were successful due to the efforts of both Memphis Depay and himself.
