Between bonuses and prizes, Timão owes approximately R$23 million to the Dutchman
Corinthians is celebrating. In addition to the Supercopa Rei trophy, the Parque São Jorge team takes home R$6.35 million for the simple fact of having qualified for the final against Flamengo, and another US$1 million (around R$5.25 million), for having won the title.
One of the main names in the cast, Memphis Depay will have a considerable share of this amount: R$4.7 million of R$ 11.5 million. In other words, 40% of the proceeds go to number 10’s pocket.
the Dutchman pockets R$4,725,603. This is a value consolidated in a contract with Corinthians, regardless of the title won.
In other words, in 2025, with the victories of Paulistão and the Copa do Brasil, he had already earned amounts of around R$9.5 million.
In addition to the titles, Memphis has several other clauses in his contract that also bring income to the attacker. For example, having played in 70% of the games between 2024 and 2025, he earned around R$6.3 million.
For participation in 25 goals in the same period, it was the same R$4,725,603.
Adding up everything since arriving in Brazil, Memphis already has values exceeding R$25 million. His current contract expires in the middle of this year.
Between bonuses and prizes, Corinthians owes approximately R$23 million to Memphis. The club is trying to renegotiate the values with the player, but there is still no consensus on payment. At the same time, the board is discussing renewing the striker’s contract.
Football executive, Marcelo Paz, is enthusiastic about the star’s stay, but the difficulty in fulfilling the contract makes the contract extension more complicated.
Focused on reformulating the cast for 2026, the Corinthians has not yet discussed renewing the athletes’ contracts whose contract ends this season, like André Ramalho, Carrillo, Vitinho and Hugo.
The board is working to reduce the payroll and got rid of some players, some of them with high salaries. This is the case of Maycon, Romero, Fagner, Talles Magno, Angileri, Hector Hernández and Félix Torres.
In the 2026 budget, Corinthians expects to close the year with a surplus of R$12 million. To implement the plan, it implemented cost-cutting actions in both football and the social club.
