According to Sky Sports, Liverpool’s talks over a new contract with youngster Rafael Camacho have stalled amid links with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Camacho, 18, joined Liverpool from Manchester City back in 2016, arriving as an exciting winger with a huge future ahead of him at Anfield after starting out his career with Sporting in his native Portugal.

Whilst still predominantly a wide man, Camacho has also added versatility to his game by playing at right back, with Jurgen Klopp handing him a first-team debut against Wolves in January.

However, Camacho’s future may now lie away from Anfield. Sky Sports report that talks over a new contract with the teenager have stalled, with real fears that he may have to be sold this summer.

Camacho’s deal expires in 2020, meaning there is just over a year left on his deal before he can walk away from Liverpool – and the new reports may be great news for Wolves.

Goal claim that Wolves – along with Benfica, Sporting and RB Leipzig – are keen on Camacho, with Liverpool seeking around £10million for the youngster this summer.

That’s a considerable amount for an 18-year-old with two first-team appearances to his name and just one year left on his contract, but Liverpool have been exceptional at selling players for huge prices.

Wolves would be a good fit for Camacho, both in the sense of the Portuguese contingent at Molineux and with their formation which places huge emphasis on wing backs, with Camacho potentially viewed as competition for Matt Doherty.
