Liverpool’s loss to Swansea on Monday has made the club return to the transfer market.
The Reds were not planning to sign a replacement for their departed Brazilian star Philippe Coutinho this month, but the lack of creativity they witnessed in their game against Swansea has made them change their mind.
Reports are claiming that the Reds have returned for Brazilian attacking midfielder, Luan.
The Gremio man was just named the best player in South America after his 8 goals and inspirational performances helped Gremio win the Copa Libertadores.
Luan had previously claimed it was not yet the right time for him to move to Europe, but the source is claiming he is in fact currently in talks with the Reds.
He has a £15.7 million release clause written into his current deal, a figure that would small for the Reds to pay after they sold Philippe Coutinho for £145 million.
Although Liverpool are still interested in Thomas Lemar of Monaco and Christian Pulisic of Borussia Dortmund, the Reds believe Luan is the only target they can land this month.
Luan is attacking midfielder who is always happy to score the goals, and while he may need some time to settle in Europe, the Reds would be glad to make do with some of his creativity.
