Yuri is one of the major highlights of the youth team of Santos and has scored 40 goals in 28 games this year.
Dorival Júnior likes to closely monitor the work done in the youth teams of Santos, and U15 attacker Yuri has caught the attention of the coach and a lot of people. The striker, who can play on the flanks and through the middle, is the top scorer of the youth team of Santos. In 2016, the youngster has scored 40 goals in just 28 games. 19 goals in the U15 Paulistão, two in the state U17, eight in the Nike Cup and nine in the Zico Cup [he was also the top-scorer of the competition]. Yuri has earned call ups to the Brazilian U16 national team, and also takes part in U17 Paulistão matches. The good performances during the youth competitions, and especially in the Zico Cup, brought together many scouts from across the world, and attracted the attention of representatives from English clubs like Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal. As he"s 15 years old, Yuri only has a training contract with Santos, but Santos has no interest in losing the boy and already thinks about offering a professional contract to him.
Giovanni Galvão of BBM Sports, which is the company that takes care of the boy"s career, said: “As a representative of the player, we have to hear any kind of interest. Yuri is now seen as one of the best strikers in the youth categories of Brazil, and this is why he"s drawn the attention of the best clubs in the world. But we do not think, for now, about any change."
Besides Yuri, goalkeeper Breno, defender Kaique, right-back Sandro, midfielder Victor Yan, midfielder Lucas Lourenço and forward Rodrygo are also considered as some of the best talents in the club"s youth system, and were called up to the U15 national side recently.
