According to Star, Liverpool scouts have been impressed with the performance of Trabzonspor goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir over the weekend.
It’s reported the Premier League side have sent a scout to Istanbul to watch Cakir in action against Fenerbahce on Sunday and they have left particularly impressed with the player.
The young goalkeeper made a record-breaking eight saves against Fenerbahce as his club picked up a point at Kadikoy.
Star claims Liverpool have made a contact with the player’s entourage as they will continue to watch him until the end of the season.
Any transfer for Cakir wouldn’t be for a first-team spot, as we all know that spot is Alisson’s, but there could be a need for some younger backup for the Brazilian down the line.
The acquisition of Adrián this summer was never a long-term move, and only occurred after Simon Mignolet was sold to Club Brugge.
It’s reported that the Turkish club are valuing him around €15m if an offer arrives to the club.
The 23-year-old Turkey international is under contract at his boyhood club until June 2023.
