O Flamengo monitors Yuri Alberto’s situation and evaluates the Corinthians striker as an alternative on the market for 2026. According to findings by Geovana Barcelos, from the website “Bolavip Brasil”, the number 9’s name gained strength behind the scenes after the difficulties faced in negotiations by Kaio Jorge, from Cruzeiro.
Flamengo’s board is looking for a striker with a goalscoring profile, mobility and the ability to play alongside Pedro or replace him without compromising offensive performance. In this scenario, Yuri Alberto has internal approval and is well evaluated by the technical committee led by Filipe Luís, although he is treated as an option and not as a priority. It is important to highlight that, to date, there is no official proposal from Fla by Yuri Alberto. What exists is monitoring and scenario assessment.
How much do Corinthians want for Yuri Alberto?
On the Corinthians side, the stance is rigid. As revealed by journalist Samir Carvalho, columnist for the website “Uol”, the black and white board decided that it would only accept negotiating Yuri Alberto after the Brazilian Super Cup, scheduled for February 1st, against Flamengo. Furthermore, the club set a minimum value of 30 million euros (R$190.7 million) to open any conversation, a request that has already been communicated to interested parties.
The possible sale of the attacker is also included in Corinthians’ financial planning, which is looking for alternatives to deal with a transferban imposed by FIFA. Internally, negotiating a valued player is seen as strategic to balance the club’s accounts.
Currently 24 years old, Yuri Alberto is also attracting attention in European football. Clubs such as Rome, from Italy, and Everton, from England, monitor the player’s situation.
In 2025, Yuri Alberto played 58 matches, scored 19 goals and provided three assists, being decisive in Corinthians’ victorious campaigns in the Campeonato Paulista and Copa do Brasil.
