Depay takes pay cut to stay at Corinthians
The former Barcelona and Manchester United striker extends his contract for two years, ending a public feud with the club.
Brazilian club Corinthians have extended Dutch striker Memphis Depay's contract by two years, after the player agreed to a pay reduction. The 32-year-old, who holds the Netherlands record for most international goals with 55, previously announced he would not be signing a new deal with the Sao Paulo-based team due to financial constraints.
Corinthians president Osmar Stabile revealed that Depay had reached an agreement to accept a salary decrease, ending a public dispute between the club and the player. Stabile praised Depay for his dedication and thanked him for remaining with the club. The club is expected to pay the striker approximately $25 million over the extended period, which includes backpay from his original contract and image rights, though performance bonuses are not included. Since joining Corinthians in September 2024, Depay has netted 20 goals in 79 appearances.
