Liverpool love signing a player with ties to Red Bull – and they now fancy signing Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Luka Sucic.
Sadio Mane, Naby Keita and Takumi Minamino all played for Red Bull Salzburg whilst Ibrahima Konate arrived from RB Leipzig.
Red Bull clubs tend to favour energetic, pressing football which means players tend to suit Jurgen Klopp’s style of play.
Salzburg striker Karim Adeyemi continues to be linked with Liverpool and teammate Sucic can now be added to the list.
Sport Bild in Germany report that Liverpool could make a move to sign Sucic this summer amid interest from elsewhere.
Juventus and AC Milan are also understood to be interested in Sucic too, meaning Liverpool would face a battle.
Sucic, 19, has been touted as the next Luka Modric back in Croatia but may actually remind fans more of Dominik Szoboszlai.
An attacking midfielder with a wand of a left foot, Sucic has shown time and time again that he can score pile drives from range.
With a much bigger frame than Modric, Sucic is able to drive through midfield with a combination of quick feet, power and an appreciation of space.
Born in Austria, Sucic plays for Croatia on the international stage and made his senior debut against Slovakia in October.
Still five months away from his 20th birthday, Sucic looks to be an absolute star of the future and exactly the kind of profile Liverpool like.
You do though have to question whether Liverpool need to bring in another teenage playmaker.
Fulham talent Fabio Carvalho and Celtic teenager Ben Doak are both signing for Liverpool this summer, adding a couple of talented young playmakers to the Anfield ranks.
With those two coming in, do Liverpool really need Sucic?
Sucic is certainly one for Liverpool to keep an eye on in the coming months, but it would be a surprise to see a summer move materialise.
