Liverpool have got a new Brazilian WONDERKID in their sights. The Reds’ decision-makers are reportedly monitoring Alysson at Gremio - a versatile 19-year-old forward.
The right-winger scored during last week’s Recopa Gaucha against Sao Jose - paying tribute to Diogo Jota after his goal. Having steered a calm finish beyond the goalkeeper, Alysson sat cross-legged on the turf and mimed Jota’s famous gamer celebration.
And according to prominent Gremio journalist Bruno Soares - as reported by Bolavip - Liverpool are getting ready with a bid.
“Liverpool is closely monitoring Alysson's progress and may submit an official offer in the coming weeks,” a report reads.
“The 19-year-old player has been watched by scouts from the English club, who see him as having promising potential for the future.”
Liverpool want Gremio starlet Alysson
Liverpool are currently well-stocked with first-team options in Alysson’s preferred position. And the report adds that the winger could instead be placed with the club’s underage sector or else loaned out to another European club until he establishes himself.
“The striker can play both on the wings and centrally, a trait that appeals to European clubs,” the report states.
“At Liverpool, he would be seen as a medium-term option, potentially joining the under-23 squad initially or being loaned out to adapt to European football.”
Alysson's reported $60m release clause
Homegrown Alysson first signed a pro deal with Gremio back in 2022. That contract included a $40m release clause. His deal was improved last year - tying him to the club until 2028 - and the release clause went up to $60m.
