Multiple sources today have confirmed that the race to sign Yuri Alberto is heating up, with Lazio reportedly submitting an official bid for the forward. The offer is being considered by Corinthians, but it remains to be seen whether it will be enough to tempt them into letting an important player leave. West Ham, Everton and Roma remain in the background, but for now, Lazio are leading the way in ongoing talks. In season 25/26, Lazio are only scoring 1.05 goals per game (20 in 19), below the Serie A average. Yuri Alberto would be brought in to give them more bite in the final third. Corinthians continue to be linked with Gabriel Paulista while Lazio are also rumoured to be tracking Nathan Patterson, Kenneth Taylor and Peter Ratkov. Need more Lazio transfer rumours?
