It appears like Liverpool has already started thinking about the summer transfer market.
The Reds have established a system for recruiting, but they still lack clarity over the composition of the playing group.
Exciting appointments include Michael Edwards to the position of chief executive officer of football at FSG and Richard Hughes to the position of sporting director at Liverpool. Nobody can mess with the Reds now.
Consequently, we can now gauge the probability of the transfer rumors that have begun to surface in the media more accurately. Also, there are several.
According to the most recent report in The Daily Mail, Liverpool are closely monitoring the development of a top-tier young talent from across the globe.Liverpool observing promising Brazilian youthsThe South American market has supposedly been under Liverpool’s radar for some time. Although nothing was ever finalized, it seemed like there was real interest in players like Andre Trindade from Fluminense.
Speculation has it that FSG has given serious consideration to a Brazilian club as they seek to acquire another and nurture Liverpool’s future stars.So, it’s easy to see why rumors have circulated that the Reds are keeping tabs on Luis Guilherme, a midfielder for Palmeiras.
The 18-year-old Guilherme is supposedly the object of interest from several elite clubs in the Premier League and Europe. Among those admirers, according to “sources in the scouting community” cited by the Mail, is Liverpool.
However, Guilherme will not be inexpensive due to his exceptional talent. Some have speculated that Palmeiras is seeking a price “north of £40 million” in order to part with the adolescent.

Which Luis Guilherme are you?Guilherme appears to be Palmeiras’ second big acquisition after the sale of Endrick to Real Madrid for a cool million.
Among the best players born in 2005 and later, the youngster was ranked twenty-first in GOAL’s esteemed NXGN series. We have informed Liverpool, who were allegedly considering signing Endrick.
As a player, Guilherme is more suited to the midfield than Endrick. The Brazil U20 international can play wide and is an excellent dribbler in addition to being a left-footer.
If Liverpool aren’t the ones to sign him, another European team of a comparable caliber will. He has all the makings of a great leader. It would be great if the Reds could finally sign a South American sensation, something they’ve been unable to accomplish thus far.
