Everton are currently in talks for the signing of Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto, according to reports
The information is brought by Fussball Transfers journalist Dominik Schneider, who, on Twitter, brings some news on the player.
It’s claimed that Yuri Alberto’s future at Corinthians remains ‘open’ as ‘numrous clubs from Europe’ have been showing interest with him.
Talks with Everton are said to be ‘ongoing’, even though there are no concrete offers from the Toffees so far.
According to Schneider, Yuri Alberto is ‘ready for a move’ and is ‘waiting for a perfect option’. The journalist also says that a ‘high transfer fee’ is expected.
This is certainly not the first time Everton are linked to the striker. Their interest was first reported in 2021, when he was still playing for Internacional.
Now in May this year, it was once again claimed the Toffees made contact about the transfer and were evaluating the possibility of making a formal bid.
Yuri Alberto only has seven goals in 37 games for Corinthians this season, and in case a good bid arrives, the Brazilian club will be ready to sell.

Cannon is undoubtedly a wanted man, with several clubs across England undoubtedly keen on his loan signature this summer.
The 20-year-old impressed last season during a temporary spell at Preston North End, with a similar role on the cards for the striker next time out.
Given the club’s lack of attacking options, Everton manager Sean Dyche would be foolish to let go of the youngster at this moment in time, with the Merseyside club needing to make an addition of their own before saying farewell to Cannon for the upcoming campaign.
There was unsurprisingly plenty of speculation about his Everton future amid his absence for the recent pre-season friendly clashes, but that looks like it was nothing more than a slight knock, with the player now back on the training ground at Finch Farm.
Dyche has already moved on young players Lewis Warrington and Stanley Mills on loan moves this summer, with Cannon potentially next to go.
