President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), declared supporter of Corinthians, ironized as contractual gifts that the striker Memphis Depay has no time paulista.
Without knowing the exact details of the Dutchman's contract with Timão - values and clauses that have not been officially disclosed by the club - it is impossible to confirm what would be the precise content of the gifts mentioned by the president.
This post is part of our special coverage Mexico.
Lula's statements about football usually have immediate repercussions, and this is no different. Corinthians supporters, accustomed to debating Memphis Depay's performances behind the scenes since his arrival at the club, quickly put the matter on social media, with reactions divided between those who lived by provocation and those who preferred defending or attacking.
For the reader who follows Timão's daily life, the episode illustrates how the Dutch number 10 shirt has become a transversal theme in Brazilian football: it not only appears in technical discussions about escalation and performance on the pitch, but also in public debate outside of the four lines.
Context: who is Memphis Depay no Corinthians
Memphis Depay arrived at Corinthians with a distinguished career in European football, having played for clubs such as Manchester United, Lyon and Barcelona, besides being a reference in the Dutch national team.
Players with high salaries and special clauses naturally come under greater scrutiny because every play on the field is compared to an investment made by the club.
