Report: The 20-year-old Brazilian prodigy is now the favourite to sign with Liverpool.

Liverpool has set their sights on Sao Paulo’s Lucas Beraldo, a young player, as they attempt to bolster their defence.

Brazil has great expectations for the 20-year-old, and he might end up being a valuable long-term addition to the Premier League team.

It’s no secret that Liverpool needs defence reinforcements, and the 20-year-old Joel Matip replacement may be the best option in the long run. Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate are the team’s only other trustworthy central defenders at the moment.

According to a UOL report, Liverpool is the front-runners to sign the 20-year-old defender, but it’s unclear if they can finalise a deal. It will be tempting for the gifted young defender to sign with a major team like Liverpool, but it is unclear if the Premier League team can work out a deal with Sao Paulo.

In addition to playing left-sided central defence, Beraldo can also play right-sided central defence. Additionally, his versatility allows him to play as a defensive midfielder.

Liverpool may have made a smart investment in the 20-year-old if they can work out a fair deal with the Brazilian team for him. The defender might be a valuable long-term asset for Liverpool if he can continue to grow into a top-tier Premier League player.

After Luiz Diaz’s father made remarks about Barcelona, Liverpool has already expressed their concerns.

Liverpool is certain of Luis Diaz’s stay with the team.

Luis Diaz is not for sale, as Liverpool has already stated in relation to his Barcelona connections. Shortly after his release from captors, Luis Manuel Diaz, Diaz’s father, sparked rumours about a possible relocation to Spain.

In a recent interview with the Colombian television programme Noticias RCN, he disclosed that, having grown up supporting Barcelona, his son’s “dream” is to play for the team. “The truth is, at this moment I know very little about Barcelona,” he stated.

“It’s true that Luis [Diaz] adores Barcelona and that playing for them is his goal. I want to express my gratitude to Porto and Liverpool for their kind reception and welcome of him thus far.

“Thank God, Luis is a very disciplined player who is easy to like and respect because of his work ethic, humility, and general way of being.

Given that Barcelona is an elite team and among the best in the world, there would be no issues if Luis joined.”

The Reds, though, are unwilling to go with the 26-year-old. They rejected a deal of approximately £43.3 million from Al-Hilal, a Saudi Pro League team, during the summer transfer window, and Barca should anticipate a similar reaction if they make a similar offer.

The Anfield star’s contract with Liverpool supposedly expires in 2027, and Liverpool values Diaz far more than what Al-Hilal offered for him before to the start of the current campaign.

The Athletic reports that Diaz has not indicated that he is pushing for a move away at this point in his career, and Liverpool has no interest in losing one of their star attacking players.

However, DSports report that Liverpool is anticipating a bid at some time from the Catalanians. According to the source, Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona club, attempted to sign Diaz before to his transfer to Liverpool, but the finances were not favourable.
