‘No doubt’: £84m player Liverpool reportedly want already tipped to be better than Neymar
Liverpool currently have one of the best attacking setups in world football.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp can pick between Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz.
Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi are lower down the pecking order, but both have also contributed a lot for Liverpool.
However, Klopp will soon find himself with three of his first-choice forwards entering the last 12 months of their contract.
Salah, Firmino and Mane are all out of contract in 2023.
Therefore, Klopp could well be eyeing potential replacements in case any of those three don’t pen fresh terms.
In December, claimed Liverpool have identified Mane’s heir, and will make a move in summer.
That player is Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, one of the best young talents in world football.
The Brazilian is just 21 years old, but has already made over 150 competitive appearances for Los Blancos.
Vinicius is also second in La Liga’s scoring charts this season, with 13 goals and eight assists.
He also has two goals and four assists from seven Champions League appearances this term.
Defensa Central claims Klopp has an “impossible” task on his hands in trying to sign Vinicius.
Then again, many “impossible” things have happened over the years in football.
One thing’s for sure though – Vinicius is likely to be very expensive for Liverpool.
speculated in December that the Selecao star’s price tag is “thought to be €100m” (around £84m).
“The greatest Brazilian forward in Europe right now”
On Tuesday, published a feature article about Vinicius, suggesting he has surpassed Neymar as Brazil’s superstar.
With Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain locking horns in the Champions League on Wednesday night, Brazil’s eyes will be firmly on those two.
“Between Vinicius and Neymar, for his current form, Vinicius is the one who finds himself in a better position to decide the game in Madrid,” Paulo Vinicius Coelho, one of Brazil’s leading pundits, told BBC Sport.
“It’s unclear what will happen to them in the medium term, but, for what he has done week in, week out, I have no doubt that Vinicius is the greatest Brazilian forward in Europe right now.
“Neymar usually starts seasons well and then declines. He can still do the opposite this time.”
