Liverpool get green light for extraordinary €25m deal | OneFootball

Part of the problem has been how much prices are inflated, especially in Brazil. A club like Real Madrid can afford to make a big risk in signing players like Rodrygo, Vinicus Jr and Endrick for large transfer fees. Liverpool cannot afford to do the same.

Edwards and his team know they have to find the bargains in the market, and that's often very difficult.

Or well it was...

Until now.

It's been heavily reported that Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in Vasco da Gama forward Rayan. The 19-year-old Brazilian has scored 20 goals in all competitions for his side this year and has been the breakout star in Brazil.

He's an interesting profile for Liverpool because he's not your typical no.9. Rayan is strong and relatively tall at 1.85 metres. But he's also very technically gifted.

He can weave past players with ease and there's a bit of Hugo Ekitike about him. The only difference is that he likes to operate on the right and cut onto his left foot.

Rayan has even played frequently as a winger for Vasco, but he could equally suit the 4-4-2 diamond formation Liverpool are employing right now, as one of the two attackers, coming and peeling off to the right side.
