Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Palmeiras wonderkid midfielder Luis Guilherme in the coming summer.
Liverpool completed one of their biggest midfield rebuilds in the summer of 2023 as they signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch for around €140M.
This revamp helped the team a lot as the Reds top the PL points table with a four-point lead from second place, before the Manchester City and Arsenal game.
However, injuries have raised concerns several times throughout this season. Additionally, Klopp had to lean towards using young talents in the middle of the park.
The decisions have played out quite well as LFC secured the first silverware of the season in the shape of the Carabao Cup.
Guilherme, a Palmeiras prodigy, is an attacking midfielder who also has the ability to play anywhere across the attacking line.
Expert Ben Mattinson described him as a ‘high-IQ player’ who has ‘so much composure on the ball’. The 18-year-old is great at creating chances and battling physically.
His technical proficiency alongside his intelligent positioning and versatility makes him an interesting prospect to acquire.
However, Jurgen Klopp’s imminent departure raises concerns regarding how the young midfielder will fit into the next manager‘s plan.
The Brazilian midfielder has already attracted interest from PL giants like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.
Brighton and Hove Albion, famous for securing Latin American talents, are also in the mix to secure the deal.
Other European clubs like Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Benfica, and Atletico Madrid are eyeing the Palmeiras prodigy.
The £50M transfer fee could be a major challenge for the Merseysiders. However, their determination and commitment to secure the deal indicates that the club wants to shape the team keeping the future in mind.
The summer transfer window will unfold how the saga ends and where Guilherme ends up.
