Corinthians receive Italian bid, no plans to sell Yuri Alberto | OneFootball

The Corinthians received a proposal of approximately 30 million euros (about R$ 190 million) from Roma for striker Yuri Alberto. With the transfer window nearing its end, the club does not want to negotiate their number 9, who is currently unavailable after undergoing inguinal hernia surgery.

As investigated by Gazeta Esportiva, despite the high values, the club is not interested and does not intend to open negotiations with the Italian team for Yuri Alberto. The proposal information was initially given by journalist Benjamin Back.

The current transfer window remains open until September 2, and the club has no intention of negotiating any player from the current squad.

In this window, Corinthians only brought in Vitinho. However, Timão is in a delicate situation in the transfer market due to the transfer ban suffered due to the debt with Santos Laguna for the signing of defender Félix Torres.

This was, indeed, a barrier faced by the club in the negotiation with American forward Agustín Anello, from Boston River. The club understands that it will not have enough time to pay off the debt and lift the transfer ban at FIFA.

Yuri Alberto has been an important piece for Corinthians in recent years. This season, the striker scored 13 goals in 40 matches.

Corinthians' upcoming matches

Corinthians returns to the pitch to face Athletico-PR in the second leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. The ball rolls on the next September 10 (Wednesday), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. For the Brasileirão, Timão faces Fluminense on the 13th (Saturday), starting at 9 pm, at Maracanã.

Corinthians' situation in the Brasileirão

The draw against Palmeiras didn't change much the situation of both teams in the Brazilian Championship. Corinthians missed the chance to get a second consecutive victory and remained in the 11th position, reaching 26 points.
