Memphis Depay arrived at the Brasileirao from Corinthians. This Brazilian team beat Rayados de Monterrey when hiring the European footballer. However, Depay’s permanence in the team is beginning to be compromised.
The problem is framed in the economic factor. Esportes da Sorte It is the main sponsor of the Brazilian team. The problem is that this entity failed to enter the list of authorized football betting houses in Brazil.

According to information from journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho, this problem could lead to the departure of Esportes da Sorte as the club’s main sponsor. Corinthians received around 309 million reais ($56.09 million dollars)for a three-year contract.
Of this figure, Memphis Depay would receive his payment for the years of his contract with the Brazilian team. The Dutchman has a contract with the club until 2026 for 57 million reais ($10.4 million dollars).
“Corinthians is not thinking about removing Esportes da Sorte from the shirt at the momentbut he knows he has to do it. Corinthians is already in the market seeing what can happen because it could have a sponsorship replacement and eventually an agreement for the Memphis case, which is the most risky for everyone”explains the report.
A viable option for Monterrey
In this sense, in the event that Corinthians does not resolve its financial problems, Memphis Depay can leave the team and Rayados de Monterrey could be one of his destinations.
It is worth remembering that from La Pandilla they paid $8.1 million dollars for the signing of Lucas Ocamposa player who earns about $1.8 million dollars a year. This is a salary that is not far from the Dutch forward’s demands.
For now, Memphis Depay still belongs to Corinthians. Since he arrived at the club, The Dutch attacker has played 4 games in which he has been able to contribute 2 assists. In 160 minutes on the field, the 30-year-old striker has managed to be influential.
