# Liverpool eye Boro youngster Brahimi

Liverpool are interested in signing Bilal Brahimi from Middlesbrough, according to a report from [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-liverpool-newcastle-chasing-top-middlesbrough-prospect).

The Reds are among the potential suitors for the young winger, who looks all but set to depart the Riverside Stadium after failing to agree on a professional contract at the club.

Brahimi made his senior debut for Boro this season and has attracted interest from clubs in the top flight of English and French football, it seems.

Liverpool are noted as an interested party, but they could face competition from fellow Premier League counterparts Newcastle United in the summer transfer window.

Ligue 1 side Rennes, however, are claimed by TEAMtalk to be leading the race to land Brahimi from Boro.

The Frenchman recently turned 19-years-old and is held in high esteem by those at the Championship club.

Brahimi has appeared for France’s Under-19 side in previous outings but has caught the eye primarily with his displays for Boro’s Under-23 team in the Premier League 2.
