This week, there’s been several reports from Brazil regarding the European chase for Internacional striker Yuri Alberto.
It was first claimed that Manchester City were interested in the youngster, with his agent André Cury reportedly confirming the chase. Then it was said the player had a verbal agreement with Milan.
Meanwhile, the price for the move would still be an issue. Because Yuri Alberto is protected by a €60m release clause, and that would be the first demand made by Internacional. Then it was said they’d start negotiating from €20m.
Now as Calcio Mercato features an update on the story today, they come up to clarify many of those rumours.
Their report first rules out the agreement between Yuri Alberto and Milan, claiming no deal has been reached so far. Then sources from Internacional also told them there’s been no official offer of €10m coming from the Rossoneri yet.
Now regarding the news which should be more to Manchester City’s interest, it’s said that the Brazilian club will want at least €16-18m for the transfer. That’s certainly a more encouraging price than previously reported, and in case Pep Guardiola’s side are indeed interested, it seems there’s still time to go and get the striker.
