@memphisdepay has lifted the Brazilian Cup 🏆 with @corinthians, sealing the club’s second trophy in just 15 months after his arrival.
With decisive goals ⚽ against rivals Palmeiras, in the semi-final and the winning goal in the final at the iconic Maracanã, Memphis played a key role in this historic triumph.
We advised on Memphis’ transfer to Corinthians back in September 2024, laying the foundation for this successful chapter. 🤝
🇧🇷 Memphis arrived at a club facing the risk of relegation, and now brought them all the way up to qualifying for the Copa Libertadores.
Congratulations, Memphis, on this remarkable achievement. 🙌
