Yuri Alberto to Nottingham Forest transfer twist as striker speaks out on future

Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto has discussed his future amid transfer links to Nottingham Forest . The Reds are said to be targeting the 23-year-old Brazilian ahead of the January transfer window . And speaking ahead of Corinthians’ final league match of the season last Sunday, in which he scored in a 3-0 win against Gremio, Alberto addressed his situation.

“I really want to (stay at Corinthians). But I also have a dream of playing in Europe, in the Premier League ,” he said . “I’m very happy here.



“Even more so because I’ve found my best form. I was even joking with the guys at the training centre before the game against Bahia. I said ‘Man, this is the last training camp here at home, at the hotel’.

“It’s very rare for this to happen, and it’s the first time that I don’t want the year to end! I don’t want it to end because, at the moment, I’m living, I’m very happy. “On the field, things are happening with enormous naturalness. I (feel) light, doing my things with great ease.

I’m enjoying each day as if it were my last.” Alberto scored 15 league goals for Corinthians this season, taking his tally to an impressive 40 goals in 102 league appearances for the club.
