According to Globo Esporte Futebol, Corinthians has proposed a new payment model of R$ 42 million, paid in four semi-annual installments of R$ 10.5 million starting in February 2027. This is the same model proposed in the new contract that Memphis Depay agreed to, but the club's board estimates the debt to be R$ 77 million with the addition of fines, interest, and charges. The club's president, Osmar Stabile, believes they are legally backed by their decision not to advance with the contract signing.
The Corinthians have three active transfer bans, with debts totaling around R$ 21.5 million. If the club is unable to resolve the debt with Memphis Depay, it may face further consequences, including a potential transfer ban. Memphis Depay had criticized the club's board on social media after the decision was announced, and his representatives have stated that he will not reconsider the contract.
The next step in this situation is for Corinthians and Memphis Depay's representatives to meet and discuss the proposed payment model. The outcome of this meeting will determine the future of the club's debt to the player.
