Liverpool have a quiet week in terms of first-team matters, but there’s still plenty going on in the wider Anfield world. Isn’t there always?!
Liverpool among 4 PL sides who want to sign Endrick
You might not know the name yet, but judging by how highly he’s rated in his homeland, you soon will do.
Palmeiras teenager Endrick is wanted by Liverpool, City, Chelsea, United, Real, PSG, Barcelona and Bayern, has just won MVP at the Sao Paulo Copinha tournament and is expected to fetch a price tag of around £30-35 million.
Oh, and he’s 15 years old.
Sky Sports reckon when he turns 16, a mammoth battle to sign him will be on, with any pre-contract seeing the forward actually join when he turns 18 years age. The Reds will be in the middle of it all as they try to land one of South America’s next great prospects.
