Memphis Depay, from Corinthians, in Tigres' sights, says Mexican press

Memphis Depay, Corinthians striker, is once again the target of speculation in the football market. The Mexican press reports on a supposed interest from Tigres, a club that is looking for a replacement for Gignac, in the player whose contract with Timão ends at the end of July.

According to the profile "FAFHOO", on the social network X, Tigres sees Memphis as a possible successor to André-Pierre Gignac, who recently said goodbye to the club.

The publication points out that, if he does not renew with Corinthians, Memphis would become a free agent. "Tigres is looking to sign Dutchman Memphis Depay. The player would be a free agent, a situation that the club is looking to take advantage of, as it would only have to cover his salary of 5 million dollars per year", detailed the profile.

The information was also shared by pages specializing in Mexican football that follow Tigres' day-to-day activities, such as Tigres Mxnda.

Corinthians seeks renewal
Corinthians has already presented Memphis Depay with the conditions for a possible contract renewal, which includes a significant reduction in its current salaries. The player must give his final answer or present a counter-proposal upon returning to Brazil after vacation.

The black and white club, although it initially depended on sponsors, now understands that it can keep the striker even without this support, but continues to look for brands that can help make the operation viable, given the club's delicate financial situation.

Memphis' current contract is valid until July 31, and Corinthians' proposal is to extend the contract until mid-2028.

Memphis History in 2026
The Dutch striker, who had a discreet participation in the World Cup, ended his season with physical problems. In 2026, he played just 14 games for Corinthians, 11 as a starter, with one goal scored and one assist.

Amid speculation and the player's vacation, Timão will officially return to the field on July 23, a Thursday, against Remo, in the Brazilian Championship, at the Neo Química Arena.
