Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr seems really impressed with a player Liverpool are looking to sign this summer.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side will be in Bergamo, Italy, tonight to take on Atalanta in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash.
The Reds suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the first leg at Anfield last week. It was a result that shocked everyone, and Liverpool now have a mountain to climb.
All eyes will be on the game tonight, but behind the scenes, the search for a new manager as well as potential signings for the summer is underway.
One player Liverpool have been heavily linked with was the star of the show for his club last night.
Vinicius Jr blown away by Liverpool target Federico Valverde after what he did last night
Real Madrid took on Manchester City at the Etihad in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash last night.
The Galacticos, for once, were the underdogs going into the game. Many people expected Pep Guardiola‘s side to do what they did last season – knock Real Madrid out of the competition.
However, Rodrygo Goes opened the scoring for the Spanish side in the first half before Kevin De Bruyne levelled the scores after the break.
City dominated large parts of the game, but they just couldn’t break Real Madrid down. The game went to extra time and then to penalties, and Carlo Ancelotti’s side came out on top.
After the game, Real Madrid star Federico Valverde was named as the Player of the Match for his terrific performance at the Etihad Stadium.
The Uruguayan, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool, is having a fine season, and Vinicius Jr was really impressed with him last night.
Replying to Valverde’s Instagram post, Vinicius wrote: “What a player! Thank you!”
Liverpool make club-record bid to sign Federico Valverde
Liverpool‘s focus behind the scenes will be on a new manager, but they haven’t completely ignored the players they want to bring in.
The Reds are all set to enter a period of transition when Jurgen Klopp leaves this summer. They will need their top players to step up, and they might also have to bring in elite footballers to keep the club near the top.
That’s probably why Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde is on their list.
El Debate in Spain claimed recently that Liverpool are obsessed with the Uruguay international and have wanted to sign him for about five years now.
The most interesting claim in the report is that Liverpool have made a €150m (£129m) bid to sign Valverde, and that offer is still on the table.
We don’t expect Real Madrid to accept any bids for Valverde, but if Liverpool can somehow get him, it would be an incredible piece of business by Michael Edwards.
