Liverpool is preparing a €50 million bid to sign João Pedro from Brighton, identifying the Brazilian forward as a long-term replacement for Darwin Núñez. The Reds are looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season.
Why João Pedro?

Brighton’s Stance

- The Seagulls may demand a higher fee, considering Pedro’s potential and his long-term contract.
What’s Next?
- Liverpool is expected to formalize their offer soon.
- Negotiations will depend on Brighton’s willingness to sell and Pedro’s own ambitions.
- If the deal goes through, it could reshape Liverpool’s attacking setup for years to come.
