Like Mac Allister, the promising South American player that Liverpool wants to sign

Liverpool's transfer market for this season was a very curious one. The Reds gambled on what they already had, and the only name that arrived at Anfield was Federico Chiesa, who arrived for a bargain from Juventus as an opportunity and a bet in the market. The novelty was on the bench, with the departure of Jürgen Klopp and the arrival of Arne Slot.

Otherwise, players like Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo established themselves, Virgil Van Dijk and Mo Salah regained their level and surprises like Conor Bradley emerged from the youth team. Even so, Liverpool knows that next season they must incorporate players, and they have already set their sights on one of the Premier League's great prospects.

The name in question is Joao Pedro, a Brighton man. According to what was reported by the Brazilian media UOL, the 21-year-old forward, with a past at Fluminense, would be the one to reinforce the forward line. A similar situation to that of Alexis Mac Allister, who also arrived from South America (Boca), went through Brighton and that was when Liverpool became interested in him.

Arne Slot has chosen Diogo Jota over Darwin Núñez in the first part of the season, but the inability of the Portuguese to stay healthy has led him to place the Uruguayan as a starter. Beyond his performance, Slot prefers a more mobile and unbalancing striker in one-on-one situations and that is what Joao Pedro can give him.

Although he is not an undisputed starter at Brighton (9 games played, four as a starter), he has four goals and three assists so far in the Premier League, and the Reds should pay around 12 million pounds to obtain his transfer, at this time.

He is a cheap option in terms of what Liverpool can offer, with great potential and a bet on a player with the style that the manager prefers. However, there is still more than half a season left in the transfer market for next season, and there will be time for them to continue evaluating him.
