€65m move on Liverpool's attacking shortlist

Liverpool are preparing to bring in at least two major attacking reinforcements this summer following the departure of Salah who brought an end to an illustrious nine year tenure at Anfield highlighted by two Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League crown.

Citing English reports, Mundo Deportivo reveals that Liverpool have added Endrick to their targeted list of wingers and forwards which also includes Bradley Barcola, Ibrahim Mbaye and Yankuba Minteh.

The Reds are reportedly ready to table a €65 million proposal to secure the Brazilian attacker before the current transfer window closes.

Mourinho reshuffle opens transfer door

The development comes as Real Madrid prepare for a new campaign under veteran manager Jose Mourinho who is tasked with revitalising the club following two difficult seasons in the Spanish capital.

Previous reports indicated that Endrick received a direct message from Mourinho informing the teenager that regular first team minutes would be limited under his management this season.

The lack of guaranteed playing time at the Santiago Bernabeu has alerted top European clubs, paving the way for Liverpool to test Madrid's resolve.

Restructuring Liverpool's forward line

Replacing an iconic figure like Salah requires a comprehensive refresh rather than a like for like replacement explaining Liverpool's intention to secure multiple attacking options.

While Endrick is accustomed to operating across the frontline and centrally rather than serving as an orthodox touchline winger, his explosive acceleration, physical strength and elite finishing ceiling make him a premier long term investment.

If Mourinho intends to rely on experienced figures in Madrid, Liverpool can provide Endrick with regular minutes and a central role in their new attacking era.
