A Brazilian prodigy reportedly wanted by Liverpool could soon be on the move amid reports that his club is listening to offers due to financial uncertainty, according to Bolavip.

Vasco da Gama striker Talles Magno has been deemed “the biggest revelation in Vasco’s history in recent years“, the talented 17-year-old having made 22 first-team appearances already.

According to Bolavip, Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have expressed an interest in the youngster, along with Italian trio Lazio, Roma and Juventus.

Portuguese club Benfica, meanwhile, are reported to have already made a €1million (£870,000) bid for the Brazil youth international, which Vasco are said to be considering.

The Brazilian outlet has claimed that Vasco are living up to the saying “sell lunch to eat for dinner” and, in wake of the financial uncertainty caused by the football shutdown due to the global health crisis, the club’s directors are hoping to raise funds now just to be safe.

Magno is undoubtedly a player with much potential, The Guardian naming him in their top 60 talents for the next generation, hailing him as a “breath of fresh air”.

As well as his exploits for Vasco, he has also scored three goals in six appearances for Brazil Under-17s.

With Vasco reportedly considering a bid under £1million for the player, Liverpool would surely have no problem in beating Benfica’s bid.

Admittedly he would probably need several years before being anywhere close to the Reds’ first team, and going from Brazil to Portugal, there wouldn’t be a language barrier which could make a transatlantic move for a teenager all the more daunting.

That said, compatriots Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino and Fabinho could take him under their wing at Liverpool.
