Liverpool inquire about signing Palmeiras talent

Liverpool have begun their efforts to sign Brazilian Éric Bailly, an attacking midfielder from Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras, after making official inquiries about his acquisition in the upcoming period.

According to "TEAMtalk", citing "Sport Witness", Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras are ready to negotiate the departure of the 19-year-old player for €30 million, equivalent to £25 million, without Liverpool having made a formal offer yet.

Bili has caught attention after scoring in seven matches with the first team, as well as assisting three goals in three matches with the Brazil U20 team, amid interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Parma.

These moves come ahead of the player signing a new contract with Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras that runs until October 2031, strengthening the Brazilian club's negotiating position as they hold firm on their financial demands to start negotiations.
