Memphis Depay is reportedly looking to leave Brazilian giants Corinthians this month.

The Dutch striker joined the Sao Paulo-based club in September 2024 after an 18-month spell with Atletico Madrid, but he is now keen for a new challenge.

Last year, Memphis was linked with a return to Europe, with Besiktas showing interest amid a breakdown in relations with Corinthians

The forward previously skipped training over unpaid bonuses, reportedly owed £625,000, with another £1.25m due in September 2025. 

Despite the disputes, Corinthians were eager to extend his contract, which expires in July, but the 31-year-old wants to move on. 

Meanwhile, Memphis has been in fine form for the Netherlands, scoring eight goals in eight World Cup qualifiers, including a brace against Lithuania, surpassing Van Persie as the nation’s record scorer.
