Dutch forward Memphis Depay has shut down speculation that his recent move to Corinthians signals the twilight of his career, insisting he still has plenty to offer on the pitch.

Depay, who joined the Brazilian giants in September, addressed retirement rumors in a candid interview with Flashscore, expressing his frustration at the chatter. “I’m 30. What are you talking about retiring? It’s a long way. I’m young. I’ve been in the game a long time, but I have a long time left, God willing,” he stated.

Critics initially questioned Depay’s decision to move to Brazil, interpreting it as a step toward winding down his career. However, the former Barcelona and Lyon star has silenced the doubters with stellar performances. In just 11 matches, Depay has racked up seven goals and one assist, helping Corinthians rise from a relegation scrap to a Copa Libertadores qualifying spot.

Speaking on his time in Brazil, Depay highlighted his happiness and sense of belonging. “Corinthians is a huge team in Brazil, the biggest. So far, it’s going really well, and I’m happy. I feel like I’m home,” he added.

Depay’s form in Brazil has reaffirmed his quality, with fans and pundits alike expecting him to remain a key figure for Corinthians as they aim for further success in the coming seasons.
