Liverpool are reportedly looking to sign 18-year-old Palmeiras winger Luis Guilherme in the summer transfer window.
Jorge Nicola has now revealed on his YouTube channel that Liverpool have already submitted a €20 million bid to sign Luis Guilherme. But Palmeiras want around €50 million to part ways with the 18-year-old winger.
Guilherme has done quite well for Palmeiras this season, and the 18-year-old could develop into a key player for Liverpool in the long term. And recent reports have claimed that the Reds are the front-runners to secure his services.
The young winger is valued at €50 million, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can convince Palmeiras to let him leave for €20 million this summer. The Brazilian is highly rated across South America, and he has a bright future ahead of him. Liverpool will not be the only club keen on signing him at the end of the season, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the competition.
Liverpool need to sign a winger
Liverpool need more quality in the wide areas, especially with players like Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season. While Salah is entering the final year of his contract this summer, Diaz has been linked with clubs like Barcelona.
Liverpool are lacking in specialist wingers right now, and they need to add more quality in that department. Guilherme will certainly be tempted to join a big club like Liverpool, and moving to the Premier League will be an exceptional opportunity to prove his worth.
Liverpool have a proven track record of nurturing young players, and they could help the 18-year-old fulfil his world-class potential. Even if Liverpool have to pay €50 million for the Brazilian winger this summer, the investment could be worth it in the long run if they can help him fulfil his potential.
The youngster has the pace and technical attributes to make a big difference for the Reds in the final third, and he will look to establish himself as one of the most potent attackers in the league over the next few seasons.
