Despite being only twenty, he has been taking massive strides at Velez Sarsfield since he made his break through in 2023. He has been growing into his role in the ongoing campaign, where he boasts a tally of five goals and nine assists in 33 outings, and his performances have highly touted him for a probable Europe switch at the end of the ongoing campaign, with the report from Graeme Bailey suggesting England being a likely destination.

The Reds have been looking to bring in right-sided wide forwards as they look to start a process to replace Mo Salah at Anfield Stadium. The Egypt international’s contract at L4 comes to a conclusion at the end of the current campaign, and there lies a serious possibility that he may bid adieu to Merseysiders when the season comes due.

Real Madrid winger Rodrygo has been named as a potential target, and Arne Slot can bring in Thiago Fernandez as an understudy to the marquee incoming in the position.
