Inter target Yuri Alberto admits “it’s my dream to play for a big Italian club and experience Serie A,” but only after he has matured at Santos.
The striker only turned 16 in March, but he is already hitting the headlines in Europe for a future transfer with Inter, Arsenal and Manchester United among those interested.
“I’ve been at Santos since I was 13. Now I want to play the Under-20 tournament with Santos and that’ll be my last important competition before being called up for Brazil,” he told Mediaset Premium after signing his first professional contract.
“It’s marvellous to know that people are following my progress from so far away. I heard talk of great clubs observing me and without doubt it is my dream one day to find success abroad.
“However, I am only 16 years old and have a journey to complete at Santos first. I want to be called up to the full team, score loads of goals and win the title.
“Europe will eventually be the result of good work rather than the target in itself. Italian football is very tactical and with characteristics that really suit my game.
“It’s one of the most important leagues in the world, where many Brazilians have shone in the past. Plus it’s a wonderful place to live.
“It is certainly my dream to play for a big Italian club and experience Serie A.”
