Liverpool are among a host of Premier League clubs who are scouting promising Atletico Mineiro midfielder Bruno Roberto, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
Several top-flight sides including the Reds have been alerted by Roberto’s rise to the senior team at Atletico and have sent scouts to observe his progress.
The 18-year-old has impressed at youth level in his homeland of Brazil and has only recently received recognition from the first-team setup at the club.
Roberto has made only five appearances for Atletico in Brasileirao this season, with all of these coming from the bench, but his rapid development does not appear to have gone unnoticed.
The midfielder has been tipped for a bright future in Brazil and as interest continues to build, it seems Liverpool will face stiff competition if they are to pursue a deal.
Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are all reported by the Daily Mail to be keen.
