Middlesbrough could lose winger Bilal Brahimi with Premier League duo Liverpool and Newcastle United interested.
Liverpool and Newcastle United are going head to head to sign Bilal Brahimi when his contract expires at the end of the season, according to TEAMtalk.
The teenage winger looks set to leave Middlesbrough when his contract expires in July and it seems that Jurgen Klopp is keen to offer him his big break. A controversial move to Boro’s North East rivals Newcastle, however, should have the Riverside faithful waking up in cold sweats.
So far, there has been silence from Brahimi’s camp but it seems that joining a club in England’s top fight would certainly appeal.
Speaking in September last year, the talented Frenchman admitted that he would love to play Premier League football, comments that should not go unnoticed at Anfield or St James’ Park.
“If I work hard and well, I hope I can play in the Premier League some day. My dream is to win the Champions League and a World Cup,” he told Gazette Live.
Champions League and World Cup glory seem a long way away right now but Brahimi looks well placed to tick one of his dreams off the wish list as we head towards the summer transfer window.
Liverpool are fighting for their first ever Premier League title this season while Newcastle are all but guaranteed a place in the top flight after an impressive burst of form under Rafa Benitez.
