As Italian outlet Corriere Dello Sport today reports the race for another Brazilian wonderkid, Premier League sides Arsenal and Manchester City are both said to be involved this time.
Their website features a story on Internacional striker Yuri Alberto. The 20-year-old scored a hat-trick last night in the 4-0 away win against Flamengo, arguably the best team in Brazil, and is obviously getting huge praise for that.
Corriere Dello Sport tells the player’s history, as he had a breakthrough for Santos, where he played alongside Kaio Jorge, who’s joining Juventus this summer, and now shines at his new club.
It’s said Yuri Alberto is now followed by the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, while Arsenal and Manchester City both ‘were impressed by his maturity’.
Corriere Dello Sport says Internacional should demand around €10m for his sale. Even though there are no details on bids for his move this summer, they highlight that clubs from La Liga, Premier League and Serie A are interested in him, and it shouldn’t take long until he gets a move to Europe.
Even though Manchester City’s chase seems to be new, Sport Witness reported Arsenal’s interest back in 2017.
