They are likely to face competition from Manchester City. The 23-year-old Brazilian striker has been the centre of attention due to his impressive performances this season.
Sources have informed CaughtOffside that Liverpool have prioritised the signing of Joao Pedro and could start talks with Brighton as early as January. Liverpool view Pedro as someone who could develop into an elite player under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, especially if a key attacker leaves next summer.
Other clubs interested in Pedro’s transfer include Arsenal and Manchester City. Liverpool and Arsenal are planning to make an offer of around €55-65 million for Pedro. Manchester City are also preparing a move for the young striker. The likes of Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta believe that he can improve their attacking unit.
Brighton have set a price tag of around €70 million (around £60 million) for Pedro and it remains to be seen whether his suitors are ready to pay up. Pedro is reportedly open to leaving Brighton and joining a club where he can play in the Champions League. He has been linked with Chelsea as well.
