Liverpool were reportedly offered Brazilian ace Pedrinho.
According to UOL Esporte in Brazil, Liverpool were one of the clubs to be offered the chance to sign Corinthians talent Pedrinho.
The Reds spent big this summer as they brought in Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri, with a strong Brazilian influence at Anfield.
Alisson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino are all Brazilian internationals, and after Philippe Coutinho became a hero at Anfield too, the Reds may pursue further deals for Brazilian stars in the future.
However, one player the Reds seemingly aren’t ready to make a move for is Corinthians talent Pedrinho, with UOL Esporte reporting that Liverpool twice rejected the chance to sign him this year.
It’s claimed that agent Kia Joorabchian was attempting to get Pedrinho a big move to Europe, and contacted Ajax, Chelsea, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain in the last two transfer windows, but none of the clubs made a move.
Pedrinho, 20, couldn’t land a move in the summer transfer window, but Koorabchian’s repeated efforts mean that a January move may not be completely out of the question, with a €50million (£45million) release clause in his contract.
A playmaker or winger, Pedrinho has become one of the top young talents Brazil, and whilst four goals in 54 outings may not be too impressive, he appears to have a bright future.
