Liverpool are reportedly interested in holding midfielder Daniel Cabral, who is also capable of playing in other central roles and in defence.
The 18-year-old is an important player for Brazil’s youth setup as he – and Marcelo Pitaluga – helped the Seleção to U17 World Cup glory in 2019.
According to Flazoeiro, the Reds are keen on Cabral and could even make a move this month.
The teenager has four years remaining on his contract and the same report claims it would take a bid of £27million to dislodge the midfielder.

With Jurgen Klopp previously mentioning how careful Liverpool are under the guide of FSG, we at Empire of the Kop would be shocked if a deal in excess of £25million was sanctioned this month.
If there was money to be spent, it’s of our option a senior centre-half would be prioritised, not a teenage midfielder.
That being said, Klopp is known for cherry-picking gems from around the world – with Pitaluga being one of his more notable additions at Liverpool.
This report on Cabral seems a bit pie in the sky to us, but perhaps this rumour is one to keep an eye on, Reds.
I don’t believe FSG will buy anyone. Liverpool need at least two new strikers. And one centre back. Salah and Mane and Firmino don’t get enough goals. I’d drop Bobby back into midfield. And buy Neto and Haaland for Liverpool ASAP. They made a big mistake selling Danny Ings.
