Liverpool should be stepping up efforts to sign Wolves left back Ruben Vinagre.
Liverpool seem to rate Rafael Camacho highly, but they may have to face up to the possibility of letting the teenage leave Anfield this summer.
Camacho, 18, joined Liverpool from Manchester City in 2016 having shown some promise, and he made his first-team debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup back in January.
The Portuguese teenager has converted himself from a pure right winger into something of a full back or wing back, but his future at Anfield is now somewhat unclear.
The Sun claim that Camacho has rejected a new five-year contract with Liverpool, and with just a year left on his deal, Liverpool may well have to consider selling him this summer.
Intriguingly though, two rumours have cropped up this week. Firstly, Goal claiming that Wolves are keen to sign Camacho, adding him to their Portuguese contingent. And the other other is that O Jogo report that Liverpool want Wolves wing back Ruben Vinagre.
With Camacho seemingly looking to leave Anfield, it would be wise for Liverpool to at least test the water with a move to include him a deal for Vinagre.
Vinagre’s pace and attacking ability would be a huge addition, replacing Alberto Moreno as the second-choice left back to Andrew Robertson whilst also offering depth further up the pitch thanks to his technical quality.
Wolves wouldn’t let Vinagre go easily, but their interest in Camacho could just play into Liverpool’s hands. A big fee plus Camacho may just tempt Wolves into a deal, and even if they’re reluctant, it’s certainly worth offering up the teenager in an attempt to make a pursuit of Vinagre easier.
