Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Ibrahim Adel in January.
The 21-year-old is with Egyptian outfit Pyramid and the Anfield side are believed to be taking an interest in the player.
At least, that’s what Graeme Bailey of 90 Min is reporting today.
The report has added that Mohamed Salah himself has been encouraging people at Liverpool to take a serious look at the youngster to ensure they are ‘fully aware’ of him and his potential.
However, the report from 90 Min also includes that scouts at Kirkby already knew about the player.
It would take the Egyptian club around £5 million to part company with Adel, a figure that’s easily doable for an outfit of Liverpool’s stature.
The Merseysiders are among those weighing up a January swoop for the player who’s on a long-term contract with his current employers.
If Liverpool do sign him, the plan would be to loan him out immediately to another Europe-based club in an effort to help him qualify for a work permit to play in the United Kingdom long term.
It remains to be seen whether this has legs or not, but if Salah is personally recommending the player then Jurgen Klopp and his backroom staff should definitely be listening.
With Liverpool being one of the continent’s best teams, Salah has been training alongside some of Europe’s finest on a regular basis for quite a long time and therefore if he sees promise in Adel, well the club should certainly stand up and take note.
