Liverpool are reportedly exploring a move for Palmeiras youngster Erick Bele after making official enquiries about the highly-rated Brazilian attacking midfielder.
The 19-year-old has attracted attention with his performances for Brazil’s Under-20 side, and his development at club level has also caught the eye of several European clubs.
According to a Sport Witness report, Liverpool have contacted Palmeiras to discuss the terms required to sign Bele. The Reds are seemingly keen to understand the financial implications of a potential deal before deciding whether to pursue their interest further.
Palmeiras are reportedly willing to negotiate his departure for a fee starting at €30 million (£25m), although Liverpool have not submitted an official offer yet.
