The upcoming transfer window promises to be an exciting one for the Premier League giants, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United expressing clear interest in signing Barcelona's talented youngster Lamine Yamal in the summer.
Liverpool have set their sights on the promising 16-year-old right-back in their search for Mo Salah's successor. Although they will face competition from Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, the Reds are determined to strengthen their squad going forward.
Liverpool want him to replace Salah
Salah's situation at Anfield remains a key issue, with Liverpool recently rejecting a significant offer from Al-Ittihad for the Egyptian. Although Salah could remain in the team for the next two seasons, Liverpool recognize the importance of preparing for life after the prolific goalscorer, who is now 31 years old.
Lamine Yamal, known for breaking records at Camp Nou, is the youngest right-back to represent Barcelona in the first team. Despite his youth, he has gained experience in 28 games this season and demonstrated his skills with two goals and five assists.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are also on offer
Barcelona's complicated financial situation could open the door to a possible sale and Liverpool see Yamal as an opportunity to bring in a promising talent. Although his market value is estimated at €60 million, the Reds believe they could secure him at a reasonable price, especially if Barca are forced to sell due to their financial problems.
However, the task will not be easy for Liverpool as Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea are also closely monitoring Yamal's situation and could make their own offers. The battle for Barcelona's pearl appears to be intense and the Premier League could see an exciting competition between these elite clubs for the young prodigy.
