'Speaking to sources': Fabrizio Romano thinks £79m player will leave after Liverpool started tracking him

Liverpool may have no sporting director, nor a new manager for the the summer yet. However, that doesn’t mean that the club’s recruitment team is sitting around idle. The Reds will already be tracking potential candidates, and seeking out prospective signings for the summer transfer window.

One area where Liverpool could be looking to strengthen is in attack. This season has shown that while Liverpool have some exciting attackers, the Reds could probably do with another option in attack.

All five first team offensive players have been out injured at some point this season. This has meant even midfielders like Harvey Elliott and Dominik Szoboszlai have been forced to play in the front three at certain points during the campaign.

Having another option in there could give Liverpool a much needed extra boost in attack. The kind of boost that could help the Reds propel forward again next season. And according to Fabrizio Romano, there is one player on Liverpool’s radar, who is considering leaving his current club this summer.

Pedro Neto latest

Pedro Neto has previously been linked with a £79m move to Liverpool. And now Fabrizio Romano has revealed that the player is looking to leave Wolves at the end of the season.

“Wolves have not communicated any price tag for Pedro Neto but the feeling, speaking to sources, is that in the summer he is expected to join a very important club,” Romano said on the Here We Go podcast.

“He has been on the list of many clubs in recent years, a few years ago he was really appreciated by Arsenal, and then Liverpool and also other clubs started following him.”

Neto is a fantastic player, who really suits Liverpool’s style of play. His explosive speed can hurt any opponent, and there is no question he would be a huge boost for the Reds. However, the question will be just how much Wolves will want for his services.

The Reds will not want to overspend, and it seems like Wolves will be looking to hold out for a pretty hefty fee. If that will be the case, we can see Liverpool turning elsewhere.
