Liverpool are closely monitoring Santos defender Vinicius Lira as a potential long term successor to Andy Robertson.
With Robertson’s contract set to expire at the end of the season the Reds are exploring several options to refresh their left back position.
Lira has caught the eye of scouts with his attacking prowess and ability to bomb forward which aligns perfectly with Arne Slot’s tactical system.
While Robertson has the option to extend his stay at Anfield he is reportedly in no rush to make a final decision about his future.
Liverpool sporting director Richard Hughes is keen to act quickly to avoid missing out on the highly rated teenager who is also attracting interest from other major European clubs.
The potential move would represent a shift toward younger recruitment as the club looks to build a squad capable of challenging for trophies in the post Klopp era.
