What did Yuri Alberto say after Corinthians qualified in the Copa do Brasil?

Corinthians advanced to the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil this Thursday (14) after a 1-0 win over Barra. However, it was not all good news for the São Paulo fans. That is because Yuri Alberto, who scored the goal, revealed that he wants to leave the club after the World Cup.

— It’s already been five seasons, and I’m at a stage where I’ve talked it over with my staff. Diniz has been talking to me a lot and tells me how important I am to the group and to his style of play, which has suited me very well — he said, before concluding:

— But it’s something I asked André about: this year, we need to look for something different, a new challenge. We’ll sort it out now, we’ll make the best decision in the middle of the year and see what offers come in, if any. Together with the president and my agent, we’ll make the best decision — Yuri Alberto concluded.

How much does Corinthians want to sell Yuri Alberto for?

At the moment, Corinthians has set a minimum price of 20 million euros (R$ 116 million at the current exchange rate) to negotiate Yuri Alberto’s transfer. In addition, it is worth remembering that the São Paulo side has already turned down offers of R$ 190 million from Roma (ITA) and R$ 150 million from Lazio (ITA).

What are Yuri Alberto’s numbers in 2026?

So far, Yuri Alberto has played 24 matches in 2026, with six goals scored and two assists. It is no surprise that the number 9 is Corinthians’ top scorer this season, followed by center-back Gustavo Henrique, with four goals.

Does Flamengo want to sign a center forward?

Yes! The center-forward position is one of Flamengo’s priorities for the next transfer window. After all, the Rubro-Negro wants to bring in a player to compete for a spot with Pedro. Kaio Jorge, one of Cruzeiro’s standouts, was one of Fla’s targets, but the club did not reach a financial agreement with the Minas Gerais side.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on its next 2026 fixture. This Sunday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Athletico-PR at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena da Baixada, in the 16th round of the Brasileirão.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Athletico-PR through YouTube, the website and social media. However, SporTV (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
