Offer made: Liverpool ready to steal forward from Man City | OneFootball

Liverpool have reportedly made a proposal for one Manchester City player. They hope to steal him this summer.

Liverpool are deep into their transfer business this summer, even if it doesn't quite feel like it. But the Reds have been at work for months trying to lock down their targets.

Of course, their top target was Yan Diomande and he'll be joining Paris Saint-Germain (or at least, he would like to) and that's put a real dampener on things. Liverpool have to pivot for someone new, even if they know that new target isn't exactly what they wanted.

For now, though, it seems the most-likely arrival will actually be for the future. Liverpool have their eyes on some of England's elite youth talent, hoping to recreate the magic of Rio Ngumoha.

One such player is Xavier Parker at Manchester City. The teenager is wanted by every major English club and he's thought to be one of the absolute best players in his age bracket.

Maybe even the best.

Parker only signed for City from West Ham United a couple of years ago but his development has clubs circling. After all, he's still only 16 and unable to commit long-term.

His next contract will be that commitment and Liverpool hope he'll sign one with them. The Manchester Evening News reports that the Reds are leading the race to sign Parker, hot on the heels of a reported proposal.

Watch this space, then. Liverpool have a solid recent history of locking down elite young players, from Ngumoha, to Trey Nyoni, to their own Josh Abe.

Parker may well be the next to join that group, establishing a remarkable group of youngsters who represent the future of LFC.
