Liverpool are looking to add more quality on the flanks and they have identified Allan Elias as a target.
The 22-year-old has done quite well for Palmeiras, and Liverpool have made an enquiry for him. According to ESPN journalist Andre Hernan (h/t SportWitness), the player is a target for multiple European clubs, and Liverpool has made approaches about a potential move.
It remains to be seen whether they followed up with an official proposal to close the deal. Elias is a right winger with 7 goal contributions this season.
Hernan revealed: “It is not new that Liverpool want Allan. The market is starting to open and there are already enquiries and approaches regarding the player. Palmeiras will have to be very strong, because clubs will come hard for him.”
“He is a player very desired by the European market. Palmeiras play hard in every sense, whether the contact comes from clubs or through the player’s representatives. It will be a decision for the presidency and the board, because the market will be strong and Allan will receive proposals and a lot of interest in this window.”
The 22-year-old could prove to be an interesting acquisition. Liverpool needs more quality in the wide areas. They have looked predictable in the attack this season, and they need someone who can take on defenders and beat them in a one-on-one situation.
The Brazilian has the technical attributes for English football, and he could add a cutting edge in the final third. The opportunity to play in the Premier League will be exciting for him. It would be a step up in his career, and regular football in England could bring out the best in him.
Liverpool are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them will be hard to turn down. Meanwhile, Liverpool will face competition from clubs like Napoli.
The 22-year-old should look to join a club where he can get regular opportunities. Liverpool will need to provide him with the necessary assurance in order to convince him. The Brazilian could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for the English club if they can sign him for a reasonable fee.
