Liverpool have officially entered the race for a £78 million-rated star previously linked with Arsenal, as the Reds reportedly open talks with the player’s representatives.
New sporting director Richard Hughes is said to be leading the charge, pushing hard to make the player Liverpool’s seventh summer signing following the recent arrival of Hugo Ekitike. With Arsenal still monitoring the situation, Liverpool’s swift action could put them in pole position.
The identity of the target hasn’t been disclosed publicly yet, but sources close to the negotiations suggest that talks are progressing quickly, and a formal bid could be next. As competition heats up, this developing transfer battle could shape the remainder of the window for both Premier League rivals.
