Football Insider has been informed by sources that Liverpool has amassed an extensive scouting dossier on Palmeiras wonderkid Luis Guilherme in preparation for a summer raid.
Football Insider disclosed on Monday, February 19, that Guilherme, a player who has been likened to Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain, is the Merseysiders’ top target ahead of the summer transfer window.
The 18-year-old and Mbappe have been compared because of their remarkable speed, with the teenager recording an incredible 36.4 km/h peak in 2022.
After his senior breakthrough with Palmeiras, Guilherme is considered one of the world’s top prospects.
Is Liverpool leading the pack to sign the “next Mbappe”?
After making a “huge” scouting effort, Liverpool hopes to be at the front of the line to sign the winger later this year, according to a well-placed source who spoke with Football Insider.
According to sources, Guilherme is viewed by the Reds as a player who can join the first team and have an instant impact.
Nonetheless, it’s thought that other elite European teams have expressed a great deal of interest in the teenager.
Despite having only made his Palmeiras senior debut in April 2023, he has already made 32 appearances in all competitions.
Even though the electric sensation only turned 18 earlier this month, Brazil’s Under-20 team has already capped him.
Guilherme and fellow wonderkid Endrick play for Palmeiras, the Brazilian champions, although Endrick has already agreed to move to Real Madrid.
A significant update on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract was released by Liverpool.
