Contract Delay Causes Concern Globo Esporte Futebol reports that Memphis Depay's new contract with Corinthians is being delayed due to a clause that stipulates the payment of a R$ 42 million debt in case of a delay. This clause is causing tension between the club and the player's representatives.

Club Resists Payment of Fine and Interest The club is resisting the payment of a fine and interest in case of another delay. This means that the club wants to freeze the current value of the debt, even if they delay the payment again. The player's representatives, however, want to have some protection in case of inadimplência, such as a financial guarantee or the possibility of executing the total value.

Pressure on President Osmar Stabile The president of Corinthians, Osmar Stabile, is being pressured by allies and important political figures to not approve the new contract. This pressure is due to concerns about the cost-benefit of keeping Memphis Depay, who is considered expensive for a club in financial crisis like Corinthians.

Ideal Situation for Memphis Depay The Corinthians' department of football recognizes that the ideal situation would be for Memphis Depay to be training at the Joaquim Grava training center. However, the delay in the contract is causing problems, and the player has passed his medical exams and is close to renewing his contract with Corinthians.

Conclusion The delay in the contract is causing concern, and it is unclear when the new contract will be signed. The club's resistance to paying the fine and interest is causing tension, and the pressure on President Osmar Stabile is increasing. The ideal situation for Memphis Depay is to be training at the Joaquim Grava training center, but the delay in the contract is causing problems.
