Zenit no longer has Yuri Alberto in its squad, but imposed some conditions for the Brazilian to stay at Corinthians; see details
THE Zenit released Yuri Alberto to stay in Corinthians, and the club did not wait to announce the continuity of the top scorer for four more seasons at Timão. Last Tuesday, the 10th, the team from São Paulo made some publications on social networks and took the opportunity to make official the permanence of the number 9 shirt definitively. Fans went wild with the announcement, as the striker was seen as a priority behind the scenes.
As everyone knows, the negotiation between Corinthians and Zenit by Yuri Alberto earned the club 50% of the athlete’s economic rights and also the departure of Robert Renan and Du Queiroz to Russian football. The two were considered by the club to be two interesting and important assets, but the St. Petersburg club wasted no time and imposed the two black and white jewels on the deal.
But it’s not just these players who will be involved in the negotiation between Corinthians and Zenit. The definitive arrival of Yuri Alberto at Timão also gave the Russian club the preference to buy over Pedro, the under-20 striker. Other than that, “Globo Esporte” also announced that two more players are included in the negotiation between the parties.
Gustavo Mantuan and Ivan are others who will make Zenit profit from the departure of Yuri Alberto to Corinthians. The Russian club will be entitled to receive amounts related to negotiations that the two are involved. For example, the goalkeeper transferred to Vasco on loan, but has a buyout clause. A slice of that deal will go directly into the Saint Petersburg team’s coffers.
Meanwhile, Gustavo Mantuan’s future is still undecided. Zenit has not yet decided whether to hire him permanently or to release the striker to return to Timão. In the first case, Corinthians could grant a discount in the fixed amount of 10 million euros. Another possibility is the return to Brazil and the possibility of selling the boy in the future. In this case, the Russians would receive an amount related to a future deal. The molds are still under discussion.
