Liverpool are being linked with a mega-money move for FC Barcelona’s Pedri who has been a standout performer for the Spaniards this past year and has earned rave reviews for his midfield showings.
The teenage talent has been a revelation for both club and country and his rise in stock in world football has not gone unnoticed with Liverpool keeping an eye out for his development in the run-up to the next summer’s transfer window.
Reports from The Liverpool Echo have indicated that Jurgen Klopp could be tempted into making a record swoop for the 18-year-old La Liga sensation with an £85 million bid in the offing.
The Merseysiders have a void to fill in the centre of the park following the exit of Gini Wijnaldum who made the move to Paris Saint-Germain earlier this summer as Klopp dismissed an urgent need to bring in a replacement for the Dutchman.
Pedri’s availability next summer, however, could force the Liverpool boss to chase his signature with FC Barcelona likely to play hardball over sanctioning the sale of their prized young asset.
