# Liverpool eye move for Watford bound Joao Pedro

Liverpool are interested in a move for Fluminense youngster Joao Pedro, despite the 17-year-old having already agreed a deal to join Watford following his 18th birthday.

Pedro is currently set to join his future teammates at Watford in January 2019, but a ‘disruption clause’ in the deal could allow Liverpool to hijack the Hornets’ move for the teenager.

Watford have agreed an initial €2.5million deal for the 17-year-old, and the fee could rise to €10million in add ons. However, [according to the Mirror via Globo Esporte](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-look-beat-premier-league-16199964), Fluminense are said to have the option to cancel the deal due to the ‘disruption clause.’

The Brazilian side would have to pay Watford a fee of €20million to cancel the transfer, and would therefore demand a substantial transfer fee from Liverpool should they pursue a move for the teenager.

Pedro is attracting attention from a number of European sides after his run of seven goals in his first 10 appearances for Fluminense.
