Memphis Depay's Netherlands future clarified by Ronald Koeman as ex-Man Utd flop seals Corinthians transfer just days after Steven Bergwijn's banishment from national team

Depay is set to complete a move to Corinthians on a two-year deal after his contract with Atletico Madrid expired in the summer. The deal sees the 30-year-old head away from Europe after spells with a host of the continent's top clubs including Atletico, Barcelona, Lyon, Manchester United and PSV.

Depay follows compatriot Steven Bergwijn in making something of a surprise move. Bergwijn has joined Saudi club Al-Ittihad in a transfer that has seen Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman reveal the "book is basically closed to him" when it comes to playing for the national side. Koeman's declaration drew a scathing response from Bergwijn, but seems that it's a different story with Depay who is still in the national team manager's thoughts.

He told reporters: "I disapproved of Steven Bergwijn's move to Saudi, with Memphis it can be different. The level of the league in Brazil is different, so yes, he can still be part of the national team, but it depends on his fitness and if he reaches his level."

Depay has scored 46 goals in 98 appearances for the national team but is not part of Koeman's current squad for fixtures against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany.

Depay will be hoping he can make an impact at Corinthians and continue his career with the Dutch side. The former Manchester United man is just four goals behind Robin van Persie in the list of all-time top scorers for the Netherlands.
