Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp looking to sign the ‘new Neymar’

The Liverpool boss could make a big move.

Liverpool’s history with Brazilian footballers is relatively recent. Lucas Leiva was the first, followed by Fabio Aurelio and now a new contingent of stars who have strutted their stuff in the red colours of Liverpool under Jurgen Klopp.

Players like Alisson and Roberto Firmino as well as the now departed Philippe Coutinho have often been linchpins of the side and are adored in Merseyside.

As a result the Reds’ stock has grown steadily in their homeland and the support for Liverpool has increased.

Brazil is often regarded as the football capital of the world. The amount of extremely talented players the nation has produced is endless.

Neymar is among the latest stars of his generation. However the Brazilian will soon be nearing the end of his career. And that means Brazilians are frantically searching for his heir.

Young Talles Magno might just be exactly that.

And if the latest rumours are to be believed unlike Neymar or many of his other countryman, Talles Magno may commence his European career not in Spain but England instead.

According to a report by Brazilian outlet Yahoo Esportes via Liverpool.com the Reds have ‘made contact’ with Talles Magno’s representatives over a potential move.

The flamboyant Brazilian winger is a typical player from his homeland. He is blessed with an abundance of pace and an extreme amount of flair and trickery.

Talles Magno has the ability to bamboozle his opponents and his flair could be a major asset for the Reds.

At 18, Talles Magno is still a young and raw player, however, Klopp is exceptionally good at developing and honing the talents of many young players and thus Talles Magno could thrive under the German.

He could be the perfect back-up for Sadio Mane with the two players having a similar playing style.

Of course due to his Brazilian origin, Talles Magno is valued rather steeply so the issue of a transfer free could cause a rift in the Reds’ pursuit.

In recent years Real Madrid have invested heavily in Brazilian talent and have not reaped the rewards yet. So that will give the Reds some sense of caution.

Do you think Talles Magno could be a good signing?
