Barcelona and Bayern Munich eye moves for Gelson Martins
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Sporting’s Gelson Martins for a while but have never been able to get a deal done to sign him. Now, if the Reds do look to make a move to bring the 22-year-old winger to Anfield, then they’ll face competition from both Barcelona and Bayern Munich, according to reports.
Furthermore, Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly told his club to sign his fellow Portuguese international, such is his quality.
The Reds apparently made enquries to sign the winger last summer and in recent times, we’ve seen the club go back in for players they missed out on, but the challenge of getting Martins has been made more difficult as some of Europe’s best sides are also interested in him
Martins has a £53million release clause in his current deal with Sporting but that expires after this summer’s World Cup, so the Reds might need to act fast if they do want to sign the Portuguese star.
