Yuri Souza Almeida (born 7 May 1995), commonly known as Yuri Mamute, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Panathinaikos on loan from Grêmio.

Club career

Mamute made his professional debut at Grêmio in 2011. In 2014, he was loaned to Botafogo. He returned to the "Tricolor Gaúcho" in early 2015 and became a starter in the team under Luiz Felipe Scolari, going on to play a bigger role in the tactics of the squad during Roger Machado's tenure. However, an injury to his ankle ligaments in July 2015 was a key factor keeping him out of action for about a month. Following his return from injury, he struggled to regain a starting position in the squad.[1]

In January 2016, Panathinaikos and Grêmio confirmed a loan agreement was in place for Mamute who signed a half-year loan contract with the Greek club. The agreement included a fee of €100,000 for the first half season, rising to €200,000 if he were to play in the 2016–17 season. Panathinaikos secured the option to sign Mamute permanently either in the summer of 2016 for €4 million or at the end of the 18-month loan for €7 million.[2][3] After three months with the club, Mamute was reportedly not deemed to be a suitable replacement for previous striker Nikolaos Karelis and rumoured to return to Grêmio at the end of the season.[4]
