Memphis Depay, the Dutch football star, has recently signed a two-year contract with Corinthians after parting ways with Atlético Madrid as a free agent in July. The Brazilian club officially announced this significant move on Monday, marking a new chapter in Depay's career.
Depay, aged 30, boasts an impressive track record with 46 goals in 98 appearances for the Netherlands national team. Despite being omitted from the squad for the recent Nations League matches, his international career remains promising. Netherlands, under the guidance of Ronald Koeman, secured a convincing 5-2 victory against Bosnia and are set to face Germany next.
Koeman, the Dutch national team coach, has expressed confidence in Depay's ability to continue contributing to the national team despite his transfer to Brazil. Koeman emphasized that the level of competition in the Brazilian league differs from that in Europe, suggesting that Depay's performance and fitness will be key factors in his national team involvement.
Depay's football journey began at PSV Eindhoven, and he has since played for renowned clubs such as Lyon, Barcelona, and Manchester United. During his time at Atlético Madrid last season, Depay made 31 appearances across various competitions, netting a total of nine goals.
With this move to Corinthians, Depay is poised to bring his skill and experience to the Brazilian football scene. Fans and followers eagerly anticipate his impact on the team and the league as a whole, as he continues to showcase his talent on the pitch.
