Red Star Belgrade attacking midfielder Andrija Maksimovic has emerged as a target for Juventus, with Liverpool and Manchester City also keen.
According to a report by Italian outlet Juve Live, Juventus, Liverpool, and Manchester City are keen on securing the signature of Andrija Maksimovic, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the 17-year-old.
Maksimovic has established himself as one of the finest young attacking talents in European football, and his performances have caught the attention of the elite clubs. He has also broken a record in international football, becoming the youngest-ever player to represent Serbia. Juventus have shown a penchant for nurturing young prospects, with Kenan Yildiz thriving in recent months.
The 17-year-old has six goals and six assists in all competitions this season, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for the three clubs. Liverpool need to add more quality and depth to their attacking midfield, and Maksimovic would be a solid investment. The Serb will add goals and creativity to the side.
Regular football in England could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be quite attractive.
Manchester City keen on Maksimovic
Manchester City are keen on the teenage sensation as well. The defending champions have the finances to sign the best players in the world, and they will hope to sign the 17-year-old in the coming months. He would be a long-term prospect for Manchester City, and they could help him develop into a key player for the club.
The 17-year-old is naturally a central attacking midfielder, but he is versatile enough to operate in the wide areas as well. Both Liverpool and Manchester City would be exciting destinations for the young attacking midfielder, and he will look to prove himself at the highest level with a move to the Premier League.
It will be interesting to see if they can agree on a fee with the Red Star Belgrade in the coming months. The report states that Andrija Maksimovic could be available for a fee of around €15 million. That should attract Juventus, considering the Bianconeri prefer cost-effective deals.
The reported asking price seems quite reasonable for a player of his ability, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool and Manchester City are ready to pay up. Maksimovic could prove to be a major bargain in the long term if he manages to fulfil his potential with them.
