# Liverpool: Journalist makes Luis Guilherme claim

**According to journalist [Jorge Nicola](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5zYFDm91tQ) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-city-liverpool-set-fight-recent-tournament-winner-reached-players-agency/)), Liverpool are among the clubs interested in Palmeiras youngster Luis Guilherme.**

### The lowdown: Rapidly rising stock

The 16-year-old was part of the Palmeiras side that won the biggest U-20 tournament in Brazil in January and appears to have a bright future.

Guilherme provided [one assist](https://www.playmakerstats.com/player.php?id=829332&epoca_id=0&op=zoomstats) in two appearances during the competition despite his tender years, featuring alongside the highly sought after Endrick, who has also been [linked](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/endrick-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-breaking-22877565) with the Reds previously.

Not it appears that Liverpool could be casting their eye on South America once again…

### The latest: Reds make contact

As per Nicola’s [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5zYFDm91tQ) channel, translated by [SW](https://sportwitness.co.uk/manchester-city-liverpool-set-fight-recent-tournament-winner-reached-players-agency/), the Anfield club, along with Manchester City, are said to have been ‘analysing’ the Brazilian youngster since last season.

Whilst there is no mention of bids for the left-winger – who has already been [compared](https://news.euro-24.com/news/195253.html) to Brazil legend Rivaldo – both Premier League giants are believed to already be in contact with representatives of the youth international.

Meanwhile, a report elsewhere from [Defensa Central](https://www.defensacentral.com/real_madrid/1650279334-el-real-madrid-esta-siguiendo-a-luis-guilherme-el-nuevo-rivaldo-de-palmeiras) also cites interest from Liverpool but focuses on Real Madrid, whilst mentioning admiration from Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and AC Milan, so it seems he is highly sought-after.

### The verdict: Make it happen Julian

Albeit a relatively unknown entity, taking a gamble on unearthing the next superstar from Brazil can only be viewed as an exciting transfer for the club, and it’s good to see newly appointed sporting director Julian Ward hard at work scouring every corner of the globe.

So often down the years, Real Madrid have [held the monopoly](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2206732-ranking-the-top-20-south-americans-to-play-for-real-madrid) when it comes to landing the next big thing from South America, but given Liverpool’s current stature and indeed the Brazilian contingent already based on Merseyside, the Anfield club must be a major contender.

Guilherme [scored three times](https://nossopalestra.com.br/palmeiras/noticias/palmeiras-goleia-corinthians-e-conquista-nike-premier-cup-sub-15/) as Palmeiras lifted the Under-15 Nike Premier Cup in 2021 and the levels of interest would suggest that this is a move Ward should be seriously considering.
