Memphis Depay has been officially announced as the new number 10 for Corinthians. The club confirmed the new number for the Dutch player on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, ahead of their match against Santos. This decision was part of a marketing strategy by the club, as reported by ESPN. Memphis Depay is expected to debut with the new number in the match against Santos.

Memphis Depay has agreed to a contract with Corinthians that will last until mid-2026. It was reported that the Brazilian club's sponsor, Esportes da Sorte, has been granted permission by the Ministry of Finance to operate in Brazil and is expected to cover two-thirds of Depay's substantial salary, which amounts to six million euros annually. Sources indicated that if the sponsor had not received approval, Corinthians would have been compelled to cut ties with Memphis, necessitating his departure from the club. Fortunately, this predicament has been averted, allowing Memphis to continue his career in Brazil.
