Liverpool are planning on making a move for Benfica youngster Kyanno Lorenzo, with the Dutch talent entering the final months of his contract.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool are increasingly keen on moving for Kyanno Lorenzo. The 18-year-old Dutch attacking prodigy, who plays for the Benfica U-21 side, will enter the last six months of his deal at the club, giving the Merseysiders to snatch up a top talent next month.
Liverpool are sitting in second heading into the midweek games in the Premier League and will want to consolidate their position before the weekend’s action. Jurgen Klopp will want his side to mount a title challenge and seek sufficient reinforcements in January.
While their focus remains on first-team signings, the club is paying attention to the youth side of things. Of late, Liverpool have grown active in the youth market, targeting several players to join their ranks. They already have many young stars coming through the ranks and want to accelerate development with quality additions from elsewhere.
Young, up-and-coming stars like Ben Doak, Stefan Bajcetic, Conor Bradley, Harvey Elliott, and Jarell Quansah have already tasted first-team action this season and the last. Others like Kaide Gordon and Bobby Clark are on the brink of a call-up into Klopp’s side at some stage.
Liverpool also have Adam Wharton on their shortlist, with the Blackburn star attracting massive interest from Premier League sides. Similarly, they have Kyanno Lorenzo in their sights as the Merseysiders are ready to take advantage of his contract situation.
Lorenzo, a left-footed right winger, has impressed in the youth sides of Benfica. The 18-year-old Dutch attacking prodigy has made many clubs notice, with Liverpool reportedly entering a transfer battle to acquire the youngster.
Similarly, they are also keen on Francesco Camarda, the 15-year-old AC Milan prodigy who recently debuted in Serie A. As for Lorenzo’s deal, it appears simple, as the 18-year-old will enter the final six months of his deal at Benfica.
It allows Liverpool to negotiate a deal with the 18-year-old Dutch attacking prodigy early in January and probably acquire him in the summer. They might have to pay Benfica a modest compensation fee, but that’s understandable considering the talent they have on their hands.
