Liverpool still has its sights on Fluminense despite reports of the club abandoning its interest in Andre Trindade. The team joined a host of other clubs in the Premier League that are tracking teenage sensation Matheus Reis, according to Calciomercato (per Sport Witness).
Reis comes with a release clause, but, worth a whopping ÂŁ43.
6m – an amount Jurgen Klopp’s men reportedly are not afraid of.
Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea including a number of Spanish clubs are all said to be eager to sign the 16-year-old forward who is yet to make a senior appearance for Fluminense.
While Reis is not the player fans expected Liverpool to draft in January, they cannot fault Liverpool for staying vigilant when it comes to world up-and-coming football talents.
The main priority in all of this, remains the back and midfield, should they find an acceptable option to strengthen the centre of defence or the No.
6 position.
It remains to be seen if there is any player that is good enough to rival Alexis Mac Allister or compete with Jarell Quansah for minutes.
