Liverpool remain in the equation to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola but it is fair to think that there is a need for more than one acquisition in the final third, especially if Cody Gakpo departs the club as well.
A new investment from a consortium led by Jeff Bezos might give the Reds some more flexibility to spend higher money in the ongoing transfer window and they have already identified a prospective signing.
Fichajes has reported that Liverpool are looking to sign Real Madrid star Endrick and would be ready to make an initial offer worth £55 million to secure the Brazilian’s services by the end of the month.
While Madrid and Jose Mourinho have Endrick firmly in their plans, the source has added that an offer to the tune of what Liverpool are speculated to be prepared to send could compel them to consider the forward’s sale.
Endrick a solid signing for Liverpool
Though Real Madrid have signed a number of players this summer, Jose Mourinho remains interested in adding another defender and midfielder to his setup although that would only be possible if some players leave the Bernabeu.
Carlos Espi’s and Yan Diomande’s acquisitions in the last few weeks mean Endrick faces serious competition for a regular role in the squad and therefore, his exit might be the best solution for all parties.
If Liverpool manage to sign him, they would have significantly revamped their offence with the 19-year-old, who can play as a right winger thanks to his powerful physique, mazy dribbling and powerful shooting.
Endrick is also very effective in the box and possesses strong one-touch finishing. Without the ball, he works hard to track back or press higher up the pitch, so Andoni Iraola would value his holistic attributes at Anfield.
Real Madrid, however, might look for more than £55 million to sell Endrick should Liverpool make a formal enquiry and after possibly spending a massive chunk of money on Bradley Barcola, it remains to be seen how much the Reds can afford to spend on a second offensive purchase.
