Talles Magno won the U17 World Cup with Brazil in 2019 and he also made his first team debut for Vasco da Gama the same year.
The 17-year-old’s performances for his club and Brazil U17s have not gone unnoticed as several European clubs are interested in him.
This is according to AS, who claim Liverpool and Benfica are keen on the young forward.
Lyon and Sevilla hoped to get ahead in the line for the teenager, but the Spanish newspaper now claims the Reds and the Portuguese side are in the front row.
Benfica have already made an offer of €3m to try to ensure priority on the signing and also to match any offer the talented youngster receives until December. The Merseyside club have now joined the bidding ‘aggressively’.
The South American has a €50m release clause in his contract at Vasco da Gama, but AS states he could be signed for ‘around €25m’.
With Jürgen Klopp’s side and the Eagles ahead of other clubs in the race for the player, the newspaper states Liverpool and Benfica will ‘fight for’ Magno.
