Latest Liverpool transfer news: Reds eye move for Brazilian youngster Joao Pedro
The Mirror reports that Liverpool are interested in moving for Joao Pedro despite the Fluminense youngster already joining Watford.
The report claims that Watford confirmed the signing of the 17-year-old, and the Brazilian will join the Hornets once he turns 18.
Watford have also made an initial payment of €2.5million and a further €7.5m will be paid if certain bonus clauses are met.
However, Globe Esporte (h/t Mirror) adds that the Brazilian side have the option to end this transfer agreement and it would come at a hefty cost. Should Fluminense activate the clause, they would have to pay €20m to Watford, according to the report.
Pedro doing his bit for Fluminense
The youngster has been great for the first-team, having scored six goals from a handful of appearances.
The report adds that Liverpool have told Fluminense of their interest in the 17-year-old, and they might have to ponder about the €20m owed to Watford should they move in for Pedro.
Pedro would find it difficult to get regular minutes at Anfield, and with Rhian Brewster returning from injury, the English youngster should play for us next season.
