Claim Liverpool and Chelsea ‘keeping an eye’ on starlet – Club hoping for €25m+ ‘record sale’

Mohamed-Ali Cho has managed two goals from 26 league appearances for Angers SCO this season.

Although the striker’s stats are not impressive, he has been linked to clubs across Europe, including Liverpool and Chelsea.

On Tuesday, Foot Mercato reported Marseille president Pablo Longoria met with the 18-year-old’s entourage to discuss the possible transfer in the next window.

Claims made by the website are relayed by RMC Sport, who then provide details of other clubs looking at the France U21 international. They describe the player as ‘one of the most highly rated youngsters on the market’.

Leicester City and Eintracht Frankfurt looked at Cho in January. In addition to this, ‘steps had also been taken’ by RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Atlético Madrid.

Apart from these clubs, Liverpool and Chelsea are reportedly in the picture.

RMC Sport state the Reds and Thomas Tuchel’s side are ‘keeping an eye’ on Cho, as his current deal runs down in 2023.

In fact, Liverpool and Chelsea joining other clubs in chasing the attacker is ‘enough to make’ Angers hope for a club ‘record sale’ in the summer, surpassing the €25m fee they obtained from Jeff Reine-Adélaïde’s sale to Lyon in 2020.
