204 Liverpool have been linked with a move to sign Luis Guilherme, a player who is faster than Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez.
The Reds have built a fantastic squad over the last 18 months. They now have players who are ready to deliver in the present and future, and that philosophy is set to continue. Guilherme, who is still only 18, could be brought to Liverpool this summer.
Liverpool target Luis Guilherme is faster than Erling Haaland
Liverpool have had a lot of success signing South American players over the years.
The likes of Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho all played a massive part in the success Jurgen Klopp brought to the club.
The Reds are said to be looking to continue that theme and have set their sights on Palmeiras wonderkid Luis Guilherme.
The 18-year-old is one of the finest young talents in Brazil right now. He has played as a striker, a false-nine, on the right wing and also as an attacking midfielder for Palmeiras, and he has looked really good.
His standout trait, however, is his blistering pace.
Guilherme clocked a top speed of 36.4 kmph during the Copa do Brasil Sub-17 final against Vasco da Gama in 2022 (TBG).
That’s faster than Erling Haaland of Manchester City (36.2 kmph) and Liverpool’s quickest player Darwin Nunez, whose top speed has been clocked at 35.4 kmph.
That is one of the reasons why Guilherme is so highly rated in Brazil at the moment.
Liverpool can sign Guilherme for £44m
Luis Guilherme’s contract at Palmeiras does not expire until the summer of 2026.
However, the talented young Brazilian has a release clause in his deal that makes him available for clubs to sign for £44 million.
That is a lot of money, but Guilherme is being spoken in the same breath as his younger compatriot Endrick, who Real Madrid have signed for £52 million (Goal).
It will be interesting to see how serious Liverpool are in their pursuit of Guilherme in the coming months. We’re sure a lot will depend on their new manager.
