Arsenal to rival Barcelona for Alberto?

The Gunners may reignite their transfer interest in Yuri Alberto a day after reports in Brazil claimed Barcelona want to sign him.

Arsenal previously inquired for the 20-year-old in 2017, but negotiations with his then-club Santos didn’t advance.

Alberto’s stock has since risen and it’s understood the striker’s current club, Internacional, believe they could net around €15 million for his sale. Although the player’s entourage feel a €20m transfer fee is possible. [Globo Esporte – in Portuguese]

The Italian is reportedly in talks with Everton over replacing his old AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti as the Premier League club’s newest head coach.

Former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo, ex-Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez, and West Ham boss David Moyes are also on the shortlist. [Mail]
