Liverpool are interested in a summer move to sign Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior, according to Diario Madridista.
The 19-year-old has caught the eye for the La Liga giants this season, having joined from Flamengo in 2018.
Seen as one of the most exciting youngsters in the world currently, Vinicius is thought to be on the Reds’ radar.
This report claims that Jurgen Klopp was keen on bringing him to Anfield last summer, but a move never materialised.
Read Liverpool Verdict
I think Vinicius could be a strong alternative to Jadon Sancho, should Liverpool fail to sign the Borussia Dortmund forward this summer. He offers the same pace and fearlessness out wide, while also producing strong end product for a player of his age.
He has scored five goals in all competitions, including one in El Clasico against Barcelona earlier this month. Sancho is a more prolific player currently, scoring 14 goals and assisting 15 times in the Bundesliga this season, but Vinicius may represent a cheaper option.
While he would be coming from Madrid, the 19-year-old could potentially have to accept playing second fiddle to Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane to begin with, before eventually becoming a star man for the Reds in years to come.
