A few hours after Corinthians announced that it would not renew Memphis Depay's contract, the Dutch forward spoke out. Finally, Memphis Depay assured that he will "react firmly" and promised: "(...) rest assured that I will not let this unacceptable behavior go unpunished." "I am very disappointed to learn that Corinthians decided not to honor the agreement we had to extend my contract for two more years. This renewal had been explicitly agreed by the president, as well as by the sporting, legal and financial departments. In the coming days I will speak publicly, but know that I will not let this unacceptable conduct go unanswered".
