Liverpool, which has reported interest in Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, and other attacking midfielders who are the future of the German national team, is also intensifying its scouting efforts in Brazil and is eyeing players who will represent the Seleção in the future.
According to The Daily Mail, the club is interested in 18-year-old midfielder Luis Guilherme, who plays for Palmeiras, which has produced Arsenal star Gabriel Jesus and Endrick, who is moving to Real Madrid.
It is not only Liverpool that is stepping up its scouting efforts, but other European clubs are also getting in on the action.
After turning heads in Brazil, his development has been noticed, and the 18-year-old attacking midfielder has become a fixture in the Palmeiras first team, making 33 appearances in Brazil’s Serie A and Copa Libertadores.
The Brazil U-20 midfielder signed a new contract last November that runs through 2026 and has a termination clause of €55 million. In the past, contract extensions were officially signed after local reports that Bayern Munich and Chelsea were considering offers of 35 million euros.
Although he has not scored for his club, his talent is clear for all to see. He also lifted the ban on a move to Europe when he turned 18 this February. He has been offered a place at Madrid this summer and may follow in the footsteps of strikers his own age who scored goals against England and Spain in recent friendlies.
There have been numerous reports of interest from Liverpool. Will Reds be able to bring the promising Brazilian star to the team under a new manager?
