Liverpool are at the head of the pack to sign €25 million winger Marko Pjaca from Juventus according to the ESPN transfer rater.
Here is a little news to brighten your outlook for a Liverpool transfer to occur sooner rather than later. The Reds are reportedly forerunners to capture the signature of Juventus attacker Marko Pjaca this summer for a fee of €25 million.
ESPN have rated Liverpool as having a ‘good chance’ of completing the deal and say the Reds are now ahead of Fiorentina in the race to sign the Croatian winger. He is currently at the World Cup preparing to face Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold tomorrow in the Semi-Final of that tournament.

The 23-year-old was a young star at Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia before he secured a huge move to Juventus in 2016 for €23 million. Since then he has struggled to get into the first team; making only 14 appearances in his first season in Turin and none last term before a loan spell to Schalke in the Bundesliga.
He managed 2 goals in 9 appearances in the second half of last season for the Germans. Interestingly for Liverpool he played as both a winger and a central forward; Jurgen Klopp is looking for cover for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. Perhaps Marko Pjaca will be an option.
Juventus look willing to let some talent leave this summer as they try to make room for the blockbuster transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo. While Liverpool fans would prefer to see Paulo Dybala to be the one arriving from the Serie A champions that rumor was squashed today as he in not on Klopp’s list of targets.
