Flamengo star striker Gabriel Barbosa could be made available for Liverpool after reports of the player’s price-tag being slashed to around £40 million which will give Jurgen Klopp hopes of bringing him to Merseyside this summer.
The Liverpool boss has been on the hunt for attacking reinforcements ahead of the start of the new campaign with the Anfield camp witnessing the recent exit of Harry Wilson who has made the move to Championship side Fulham on a permanent basis.
Moreover, the long-term future of Xherdan Shaqiri remains subject to uncertainty after the Swiss international revealing that was ready to call it quits on Merseyside amid Lazio showing great interest in signing him.
Reports from TeamTalk claim that after being dealt a major blow by Borussia Dortmund in the race to sign PSV talisman Donyell Malen, Klopp could be forced to turn to alternative names in the market which will make him take notice of the 24-year-old Barbosa.
Barbosa presents himself to be a viable addition to the Liverpool first-team ranks where he could function as some much-needed cover for his compatriot Roberto Firmino in the central striking role.
