Liverpool prepared to spend £45m on... Everton?

Liverpool have joined the race to sign Everton after Manchester City held talks with the player's entourage, according to Calciomercato.

The Reds' interest in the forward, unfortunately named like their rivals across Stanley Park, follows his 16 goals for Gremio in the 2018 campaign – and subsequent call-up to the senior Brazil squad.

Gremio are believed to want at least £45m for their star forward who has four caps for the Seleção, and are hoping a bidding war begins. 

Everton's ability to play across the front three makes him even more desirable.
