Gabriel has caught the attention of Reds boss Jurgen Klopp, who has reportedly sent scouts to watch the player in action. However, Liverpool face competition from Newcastle and Nottingham Forest for the young talent.

Although Gabriel is highly rated, there are concerns about his ability to make an immediate impact in the Premier League. It takes time for young players to adapt to the pace and physicality of English football.

Furthermore, there is always a risk when signing young players from South America. Many have struggled to settle in Europe and have failed to live up to expectations.

Despite these concerns, Liverpool may see the player as a long-term investment. With Klopp’s track record of developing young players, Gabriel could thrive under his guidance.

It’s important to remember that football is unpredictable. While on paper, Gabriel may seem like a good signing, there is no guarantee that he will succeed at Liverpool, or for that matter, even the transfer is mere speculation.

In any case, the club will need to make a significant bid to convince Santos to part with their prized asset. Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte via Liverpool.com suggests that a bid of just £10m could be enough to secure Gabriel’s services.

Time will tell whether Liverpool will pursue Gabriel and whether he will be a success at Anfield. For now, fans can only wait and see what happens next in this latest transfer saga.
