Liverpool targets Palmeiras star Erick Bele following contract extension

Summary

Liverpool has expressed interest in signing 19-year-old midfielder Erick Bele from Palmeiras. The Brazilian club is open to negotiations starting at €30 million after Bele signed a contract extension until 2031. Known for his performances with Brazil's under-20 team, Bele provided three assists during a recent training camp. His youth record at Palmeiras includes 20 goals in 45 matches for the under-20s, though he has only made seven senior appearances. Liverpool's pursuit suggests they see potential in his development as a playmaker, similar to Philippe Coutinho.
