Highly unreliable source - so I wouldn’t read much into it. However, a player with a really high ceiling but that fee is eyebrow raising at this stage of his career.

Yes and no - but I’d like to see it after the season he has had. Deserves the opportunity the more I watch him.

I can’t tell you how impressive Penarol’s Leo Fernández has been in 2024. The no.10 has scored 21 goals, including eight free kicks. Marcelo Bielsa should be calling him up. 📞

010

Nathan Joyes @nathanjoyes.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

He’s doing very well considering we’re only seeing a few minutes here and there. Lots of energy, willingness to be attacking. He’ll only improve, too. Glad Forest brought him in.

Corinthians’ Yuri Alberto has been one of - if not - best strikers in Brazil this year. 🇧🇷 Does that mean he can cut in in Europe? It’s an interesting debate, and one we had on a recent podcast. Catch up below ⤵️ Apple: tinyurl.com/3jm8hw3h Spotify: tinyurl.com/np68njvu
