Liverpool have been scouting Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto amid rumours surrounding a 2024 move.
Pedro Neto continues to attract major interest with Liverpool sending scouts to watch him in action for Portugal.
That is according to 90Min, who claim that Liverpool had a look at Neto during this international break.
The Reds may well be eyeing up wingers amid ongoing concerns over the future of Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool rejected a £150million bid from Al Ittihad in September but the Saudi Arabian side are expected to return in 2024.
Jurgen Klopp’s side need to have potential replacements in mind and Wolves star Neto may well be one of them…
Liverpool scout Pedro Neto on international duty
90Min claim that Liverpool have been scouting potential targets in this international break, with Neto one of them.
It’s understood that Liverpool were watching Portugal’s clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday and Neto was a player of interest.
The Wolves star only came on as a substitute but helped Portugal claim a thumping 5-0 victory in Zenica.
Football Transfers reported earlier this month that Liverpool had earmarked Neto as a potential replacement if Salah leaves.
Monday’s scouting trip certainly adds to that idea with Neto shining for Wolves this season.
Neto thriving after injury hell
Neto looked destined to become a star just a few years ago as he started thriving, ironically, following Diogo Jota’s move from Wolves to Liverpool.
However, the former Lazio man suffered a couple of major injury setbacks, presenting a long road back to Premier League stardom.
Neto now appears to be back to his best and has been excelling in the early weeks of the new season, leading to Alan Pardew branding him ‘electric’.
The 23-year-old has already racked up one goal and five assists in the Premier League this season, showing his quality as a top Premier League wide man.
It is no great surprise that Liverpool are now keen – and he may well be charged with the task of replacing Salah moving forward.
