According to the Brazilian branch of ESPN, Corinthians wants to renegotiate and extend the contract of Memphis Depay, whose current deal runs until mid-2026. Depay had previously also wanted to extend his contract. The club's priority was previously extending the contract of left-back Fabrizio Angileri, which expires in December 2025, but Corinthians now also wants to extend Depay's contract. The club is facing financial difficulties and has trouble paying current salaries. Corinthians wants to resolve these financial issues and fulfill current contract obligations before taking action to extend the 31-year-old striker's contract.

Corinthians wants to renew the contract of Memphis Depay, which ends in July 2026. According to ESPN, Corinthians is focused on honoring its commitment with Depay before signing any other agreement. Information from André Hernan, Bruno Andrade, and Felipe Silva states that Corinthians has a total interest in renewing with Memphis Depay. There is discussion about whether to offer a contract with lower values, but it is believed at Corinthians that this will not happen. The salary issue is a concern for agents who want to renew contracts or bring in new players, as the numbers involved affect other negotiations. All parties are seeking the renewal, but the contract values impact other representatives when renewing or hiring other athletes.

ESPN BR reports on the involvement of agent Frederico Carvalho in the transfer of Memphis Depay to Corinthians. Agent Frederico Carvalho claims to have participated in the transfer of the Dutch player Memphis Depay to Corinthians. Carvalho sent an extrajudicial notification to Corinthians, alleging he offered the player's contract to the club and is seeking a commission. The club denies using intermediaries and does not recognize Carvalho's claims. Memphis Depay joined Corinthians on September 9 of the previous year. Carvalho is considering legal action depending on the club's response.
