Liverpool are reportedly battling it out with several other big clubs to snap up Nice starlet Pedro Brazao.

According to Foot Mercato, the Reds have been impressed with the 17-year-old winger, who is said to be attracting interest from the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Sporting CP and Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool officials are monitoring Brazao and have been doing so since before he even joined the Nice academy back in 2017.

The talented youngster has only made one first-team appearance for the club, which came in April 2019 in a game against Caen.

Apparently, Liverpool have contacted the law firm that represents the player, as have PSG.

Brazao – described as ‘explosive’ by Foot Mercato – is believed to want more first-team minutes, suggesting a move could well be on the cards if manager Patrick Vieira does not show more faith in the teenager.

TBR’s view – Liverpool onto another winner?

Little is known about Brazao, but Liverpool’s recruitment process over the last few years has been unquestionable.

Clearly, Brazao is a player with a great potential for Liverpool to be looking at him, and the suggestion he’s been on the club’s radar for a few years already is a promising sign.

The Reds have, in recent times, brought the likes of Harvey Elliott and Ki-Jana Hoever to the club, and Brazao could be the next top prospect to walk through the door.
