The forward has scored 27 goals in 2024 wearing the Timão shirt.
After a rough start to the year with many fan criticisms, Yuri Alberto turned things around and is having an excellent season with Corinthians. With 27 goals so far, the 23-year-old forward could become the top scorer of a major competition for the first time in his career—and possibly in three tournaments at once.

Yuri Alberto came close to becoming the top scorer of a competition in the 2021 Brasileirão, when he was still playing for Internacional. At the time, he scored 12 goals and finished in fifth place. But after scoring 27 goals this year, hopes are high for even more.
With 11 goals scored in the Brazilian Championship, Yuri Alberto is tied for second place in the scoring chart with Pedro from Flamengo, who will not play in 2025 due to injury. He is just one goal behind Estêvão, who leads the list with 12 goals. Both players still have four more games, and the competition is expected to go down to the final round.
Despite leaving the match at halftime with right thigh pain, the player is not expected to miss the upcoming game against Vasco on Sunday at the Neo Química Arena.
Another potential top scorer title is broader and entirely within his control. Currently, Yuri Alberto is the second-highest goal scorer in Brazil, behind only Pedro, who has 30 goals. Since his rival will no longer play this year, Yuri Alberto only needs to rely on himself to become the country’s top scorer.
Lastly, the 23-year-old could also become the highest scorer in the Sudamericana. With nine goals in the competition, Yuri is hoping that Adrián Martínez from Racing doesn’t score in the tournament’s final against Cruzeiro this Saturday. The two are currently tied for the most goals in this year’s edition of the tournament. BBscore football, your premier destination for football results.
