Yuri Alberto in close contact with Roma over January move | OneFootball

The winter transfer window will officially open in just over a month, and Roma wants to be ready.

After unsuccessfully pursuing Sancho last summer, this time Sporting Director Massara wants to give Gian Piero Gasperini some reinforcements without delay: one of the names being considered is Yuri Alberto of Corinthians.

The 2001-born player, in his seventh season with Timão, has scored 10 goals and two assists in 24 Serie A games.

His latest goals came just last night in the match against São Paulo, which Yuri Alberto and his teammates won 3-1 thanks to a brace from the Brazilian.

The former Internacional and Zenit player is one of the prospects being monitored at Trigoria to strengthen their attack in the winter transfer window: Corinthians are making no concessions and are asking for around €30 million to let him go, a figure Roma are unlikely to spend at a time when they face Financial Fair Play restrictions.

In addition to the Brazilian center forward, the Giallorossi are continuing to monitor the possibility of Joshua Zirkzee, who is on his way out of Manchester United.
