Last Tuesday, Diario As reported that Atlético de Madrid, from Spain, is monitoring the number 9. In addition, there were rumors of a possible offer from Fenerbahçe, from Turkey.

Earlier this month, Corinthians rejected an offer of 22 million euros (R$ 137 million) from Lazio, of Italy, for Yuri Alberto. The club’s board felt the amount was below their expectations. Last year, Timão also rejected a R$ 190 million offer from Roma.

To negotiate Yuri Alberto, the club from Parque São Jorge wants to receive at least 22 million euros for the 50% of the economic rights it holds over the player. The other half belongs to Zenit, from Russia.

It’s worth remembering that Corinthians will need to pass on 10% of any future deal to businessman André Cury, as agreed during the player’s signing from Zenit in 2023, under the management of Duilio Monteiro Alves.

A standout for Timão, Yuri Alberto scored 19 goals in 58 matches for the club in 2025, playing a decisive role in the titles of the Campeonato Paulista and the Copa do Brasil. He started the current season well and has already scored twice.
