Nottingham Forest has been widely linked with a transfer for Yuri Alberto this month.
Nuno Espirito Santo could do with a striker given his current options, with only Taiwo Awoniyi able to replace Chris Wood.
Nottingham Forest have been fortunate to have a fit and healthy Chris Wood, who has taken the Premier League by storm and is now one of the leading scorers in the league.
However, it appears as if the club aren’t satisfied with their current options, as Evangelos Marinakis has a new striker on his transfer list for January.
Yuri Alberto is a player that Nottingham Forest admire, and his current club
Corinthians have now shared their stance on a January transfer.
Corinthians’ attitude on Yuri Alberto’s January departure Alberto’s impressive season, with 31 goals and seven assists, should make him a target for several European clubs.
The striker presently plays for Brazilian club Corinthians, which is where Nottingham Forest signed Murillo from.
Nottingham Forest have now learned Corinthians’ attitude on a January deal, as Trivela claims the club will not go bankrupt to keep Yuri Alberto.
The Brazilian club understands that the issue involving the continuity or not of the player goes beyond the figures.
Although, one of the ways that the board works to convince the player is the inclusion of goals and bonuses for individual and collective performance.
Nottingham Forest need to test the waters
It’s evident that Yuri Alberto is a player that Nottingham Forest rate and the player himself dreams of a move to the Premier League, so what’s the hold up?
Chris Wood may play a role, but it is unclear whether the Brazilian striker would be willing to fill in as a backup.
Given Murillo’s rise to stardom since making the move from Corinthians, there’s every reason to make a move and there could be a willingness from the Brazilian club to do business again.
However, after the season he’s had, it may take a hefty fee.
