Liverpool’s pursuit of a highly-rated £50 million target has hit a potential stumbling block after the player reportedly suffered a worrying injury that could keep him sidelined for weeks — or even longer. The Reds had been monitoring his progress closely, viewing him as a perfect addition to strengthen their squad ahead of a crucial phase in the season.
However, the latest setback has left the Anfield hierarchy with a big decision to make. Concerns are now growing over whether to press ahead with the deal or to turn their attention elsewhere in the market. With Liverpool aiming to maintain their push for silverware and avoid taking unnecessary risks, the injury has created a dilemma that could reshape their transfer strategy.
Medical assessments in the coming days will be key, as they will determine the extent of the problem and how it impacts both the player’s fitness and Liverpool’s willingness to commit such a significant fee. For now, the deal hangs in the balance — and fans are left wondering if this could be the twist that changes the Reds’ transfer plans.
