The arrival of Memphis Depay at Corinthians was greeted with enthusiasm by both the fans and prominent figures like Neymar, who didn't hesitate to show his excitement on social media. However, just a month after his signing, Depay's future at the Paulista club is in danger due to the complicated situation faced by the club's main sponsor, Esportes da Sorte.
There might not be enough money to keep Memphis Depay on the team
This company, which lacks the necessary authorization to operate as a betting house in Brazil, could be forced to withdraw as the club's sponsor. This scenario would pose a significant financial problem for Corinthians, as the sponsorship with Esportes da Sorte includes an agreement of 309 million reais (approximately 51 million euros) over three years, a substantial part of which is intended to cover Depay's salary.
According to the newspaper AS, if the sponsor pulls out, the club would receive only a fraction of the agreed amount, directly impacting Depay's future since his contract heavily relies on funds from Esportes da Sorte. Faced with this situation, Corinthians is already seeking new partners to cover the cost of the Dutch forward's signing, who has been instrumental in the team's recent success. The uncertainty surrounding the sponsorship and Memphis' future presents a significant challenge for the club, which must act swiftly to avoid losing their new star.
