Liverpool now ready with £50m offer for 18-year-old wonderkid

Liverpool are heading for another big attacking revamp - just one year on from a mammoth £450m spending spree.

Last summer Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak arrived on British record deals - with Hugo Ekitike also coming on board.

But uncertainty over Mohamed Salah and Federico Chiesa - not to mention a lack of options on the left - could force Richard Hughes into taking transfer action.

The Premier League champions have surrendered their title in meek fashion - and will be no doubt seeking to bounce back in 2026/27 with a new-look attack.

Liverpool looking at Mateus Mane

Several top stars - including Yan Diomande and Anthony Gordon - have been suggested as potential incomings. But one name right now is causing ripples of excitement - 18-year-old Wolves’ sensation Mateus Mane.

Although the Portugal-born youngster only made his first Premier League start of the season on December 27 - he has quickly grown into a budding superstar.

The teenager has scored two top-flight goals in a struggling Wolves side - and looks destined to depart once their drop to the Championship is confirmed.

With his agents reportedly visiting the AXA Training Centre of late Liverpool could find themselves in pole position for the winger - who can also play through the centre of attack.

Liverpool ready to pay £50m for PSG target Mane

A report in Fichajes now claims that the Anfield side are ready to pay £50m for Mane - who is under contract at Molineux until 2029.

But Richard Hughes will have to pay attention to interest from Paris Saint-Germain - with Luis Enrique’s side described as front-runners for the former Rochdale youth.

There are several Portuguese players in the ranks of PSG - not to mention sporting director Luis Campos - and Mane could feel right at home in that setting.

Liverpool have a big job on their hands to convince Mane to take his next steps on Merseyside - but having recently won the race for Wirtz, Isak and others, they can be confident of landing one of the game’s brightest emerging stars.
