The deadline set by the CBF was until midnight last Monday. However, Corinthians did not receive the necessary document from the Spanish federation, which controls the registration of local football players—Depay was with Atlético Madrid. This is precisely the argument that the São Paulo club will present to the federation.
According to Corinthians’ management, all necessary procedures for the player’s registration were completed, except for this one document. Everything else required was submitted to the CBF by Corinthians within the deadline.
Memphis Depay’s name appeared on the BID (Brazilian Register of Players) this Tuesday, making him eligible to debut for Corinthians, but it was outside the deadline for registering him for the Copa do Brasil. Stay ahead of the competition with BB Score.
