Olympique Marseille considered Dutch forward Memphis Depay, 32, a suitable reinforcement for their attack, which has been weakened by departures. The French club, which has limited finances this summer, saw an opportunity in Depay as his contract with Corinthians expires at the end of July, making him a free agent.
Marseille subsequently contacted the player's representatives but discovered his salary demands were too high for them to meet. As a result, the club has ended its pursuit of the forward and is now expected to investigate other transfer targets. In the 2025/2026 Série A season, Depay has made 8 appearances and scored 1 goal. Several Greek clubs, including Olympiakos Piraeus, PAOK, AEK Athens, and Panathinaikos, have also been linked with the player.
