Football Insider disclosed in December that Liverpool was considering a £60 million move for Pedro, who would be open to the transfer to Anfield. However, recruitment expert Mick Brown, who has extensive experience in player acquisition, suggested Liverpool is prioritizing a more accomplished goalscorer. Brown emphasized that while Pedro could fit into Liverpool’s system, the club aims to secure a top-tier forward to elevate their attack, particularly after Darwin Nunez’s inconsistent performances.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s manager, is central to the club’s transfer strategy and is also eyeing Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. The 21-year-old midfielder has been impressive this season with his passing, dribbling, and defensive abilities, making him a key target for Liverpool to strengthen their midfield.
Despite Brighton’s hefty price tag for their players, Liverpool remains committed to bolstering their squad. The club is looking at alternatives to Pedro, given the uncertainty over whether he’s the right fit for their attacking needs. This aligns with Liverpool’s broader strategy of potentially selling Luis Diaz and seeking a “world-class” forward to improve their attack, with Newcastle’s Alexander Isak among the targets.
