Jesse Lingard's Corinthians salary revealed — far below Memphis Depay

Jesse Lingard has completed a move to Corinthians, reuniting with former Manchester United team-mate Memphis Depay. The 33-year-old had been a free agent since December after ending a two-season spell with FC Seoul, where he scored 19 goals in 67 appearances, and the club confirmed his switch on March 6.

R7 Esportes indicates Lingard agreed a verbal deal worth €100k (£86k) per month. That package contrasts sharply with Depay’s reported wage of around €980k (£850k) per month, nearly ten times more. The pair shared the pitch 31 times during the 2015-16 season at Old Trafford and have remained close.

Depay joined Corinthians from Atletico Madrid in 2024, scoring 19 goals in 73 appearances and netting the winner in the Copa do Brasil final against Vasco da Gama. Lingard’s contract runs until December and can be automatically extended if specific performance milestones are met.
