Report: Liverpool make first move to sign 'sensational' attacker, he'll cost huge fee

By John Verrall

Liverpool have made contact over the signing of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers, 90 Mins report.

Move made

Liverpool are said to have an interested in the forward, and have asked Wolves about taking him.

The Midlands club are open to cashing in on their players this summer, according to the latest update, but it is claimed that only a ‘huge’ offer would convince them to sell Neto.

Liverpool do have good links with Wolves, having taken Diogo Jota from Molineux last summer.

And it seems that they could repeat the trick this time around.

Injury problem

That being said any transfer is likely to have to wait until the end of the summer if it is to go ahead.

Neto is currently out with injury, after damaging his knee in April.

At the time it was claimed he could be out for at least six months, and he is yet to return to pre-season training with Wolves.

His arrival at Liverpool could still be highly appealing for Jurgen Klopp’s side though.

At the age of 21, Neto looks like one of the most vibrant young talents in the Premier League, and was called ‘sensational’ by Jamie Redknapp (Sky).

He has drawn comparisons to Eden Hazard due to his willingness to run at defenders.

And if Liverpool could land him this summer he could well have the quality to be a long-term successor to one of their current front three.
