196 Liverpool have been linked with Andre Trindade for some time now, but another young Brazilian midfielder is also on their radar.
The South American market is becoming more and more appealing to Premier League clubs after Brexit affected youth recruitment from Europe, and it’s fair to say there are some gems over in Brazil and Argentina worth keeping an eye on.
The likes of Julian Alvarez and Gabriel Martinelli have become stars after arriving from South American in recent years, and now, Premier League clubs are on the lookout for the next gems from these regions.
Liverpool have had their eyes on Andre Trindade for a little while, but according to Emmanuel Luiz, speaking on The Redmen TV, the Merseyside club are also one of the teams keeping tabs on Gabriel Moscardo from Corinthians.
Liverpool looking at Moscardo
Luiz shared what he knows about the £26m-rated teenager.
“My feeling is that Liverpool will hire a defensive midfielder from South America, the biggest feelings that we have right now is Andre from Fluminense, Redondo from Argentina Juniors or Moscardo from Corinthians. Redondo is from Argentina Juniors and Moscardo is from Corinthians. Andre is a world-class player right now, he is ready for European calibre, and Liverpool just need to improve the offer a little bit,” Luiz said.
Intriguing
This is intriguing if nothing else.
Moscardo isn’t a player we know much about. After all, he is 18 years old and playing in Brazil, but if he’s already caught the eye of Liverpool after just a handful of senior appearances, he must have something special about him.
The teenager probably wouldn’t be ready to be an immediate first-team star at Anfield, but, at the age of just 18, he could be a long-term project for the Reds to work on as they look to lay the foundations for a very successful future.
This is certainly a player to keep an eye on.
