To buy Yuri Alberto, Timão negotiated part of the 19-year-old defender’s rights to the Russian club
The soap opera between Corinthians and Zenit for Yuri Alberto’s stay is nearing its end. Involved in the negotiation that will seal the “rest” of the center forward at Timão until the end of 2027, defender Robert Renan has published a farewell video on his social networks thanking the alvinegro club.
– This moment was difficult… I built my life within this club, I grew up here and had the great opportunity to realize my childhood dream, I immediately understood that defending this mantle is not for everyone , too bad it all happened so fast, but in such a short time I understood the greatness of this club and these fans, thanks to all the employees of the club all these years – Robert posted.
The 19-year-old defender highlighted the love and support of the Corinthians fans during his short trip to the People’s Team.
– I’m leaving for new challenges, but I will always carry with me the affection and respect of the thousands of fans who supported me at a very important moment in my career. Thanks Corinthians, see you later! – concluded Robert Renan.
Created by Terrão, Robert Renan was favored by coach Vítor Pereira, who promoted the debut of the defender in the first leg against Portuguesa-RJ, for the Copa do Brasil. The defender was promoted to the professional squad and seized opportunities in the latter stretch of the season, receiving praise from Portuguese manager and Fiel Torcida. In all, he played 13 games in the Corinthians “top team”.
At the end of 2022, the alvinegra board rejected a proposal of 12 million pounds (74,716,119.32 R$, at current prices) that it had received from an English club for the defender as it was negotiating the athlete with Zenit. from Russia.
The 19-year-old is already in Europe where he will sign a five-year contract with the Russian club. Zenit will have 50% of Robert’s rights, while Timão will remain at 5%. Novorizontino, the team where Renan started his football career, will keep 20% of him, while the remaining 25% will remain with the athlete and his representatives.
Also in the “Yuri Alberto package” is Du Queiroz. In recent days the Corinthians forwarded the sale of the wheel to Zenit. It has not yet been decided whether the 23-year-old will travel to Russia in the next few days or will remain at Corinthians until July, when the European season will end and the transfer window on the European continent will reopen.
