Vinicius Jr. has been tipped for a sensational free transfer to Liverpool in 2027, with claims the Real Madrid winger\u2019s camp has held \u201cpositive\u201d pre-contract talks.<\/p>\n
Those claims came from Spanish journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, via Defensa Central, as he covered an impasse over Vinicius Jr\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n
Alvarez de Mon explained that while both parties are \u201ckeen\u201d to continue, there will be no meetings over an extension \u201cas long as Vinicius\u2019 side doesn\u2019t see Real Madrid making a stronger offer.\u201d<\/p>\n
That, he claimed, has led the Brazilian\u2019s representatives to explore the market and gauge interest from other clubs \u2013 and primarily in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring those preliminary discussions, there was one club that clearly responded positively. That club is Liverpool,\u201d Alvarez de Mon added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the numbers only made sense looking ahead to 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
That would imply Liverpool\u2019s willingness to sign Vinicius Jr. if he is available on a free transfer next summer, albeit with any deal still proving an expensive one for the club.<\/p>\n
Vinicius Jr. only turned 26 earlier this month and is widely considered one of the best attackers in world football, having scored 128 goals and assisted 100 in 375 games for Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are likely to be seeking reinforcement on the left wing next summer, if not in the current transfer window, and they have shown in recent years that they are prepared to enter the market for elite-bracket signings.<\/p>\n
Still, the expectation is that Vinicius Jr. will continue his association with Real Madrid \u2013 even if a new deal isn\u2019t signed imminently.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m increasingly getting the impression that a renewal this summer is unlikely to happen,\u201d Alvarez de Mon continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, how comfortable or uncomfortable Vinicius feels with Mourinho, how the Brazilian performs, how the team functions\u2026[all of this] could be very important.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s current wide options include Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai, Rio Ngumoha and new signing Victor Munoz.<\/p>\n
Chiesa is due to leave this summer amid interest from Serie A, while the club have not entirely closed the door on Gakpo being sold for the right price.<\/p>\n
Wirtz and Szoboszlai may be viewed as No. 10s instead, which could leave only Ngumoha and Munoz are guarantees out wide.<\/p>\n
A replacement for Mohamed Salah is the priority this summer, with RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande the leading target \u2013 but with the Ivorian preferring a move to Paris Saint-Germain, their winger Bradley Barcola is another focus.<\/p>\n
Liverpool made an enquiry into Monaco right winger Maghnes Akliouche earlier in the summer, but This Is Anfield understands this is no indication of plans for a bid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
