Liverpool are closing in on signing an exciting teenage star after narrowing down their options.
Richard Hughes continues to make moves even as the transfer window closes. Last year, around this time, he made initial contact with Milos Kerkez’s representatives to assess whether the Hungarian would be interested in a move to Anfield.

Months before signing for Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz Hughes were also speaking to their representatives and establishing contact.
Right now, you’ll probably be doing the same rounds. It remains to be seen who the players are on his agenda.
No doubt, like all of the aforementioned players, you’ll want to keep things under wraps for as long as possible.
The Reds like to move stealthily and behind the shadows. This is why they have been able to operate so successfully over the years.
One area they haven’t yet figured out how to navigate is the South American market. For many years now, Liverpool have had a strong scouting presence in the region.
The club’s scouts follow players like Rodrygo from a very young age and even signed the Brazilian, for example.
Other players Liverpool have kept on their radar include Julián Álvarez, Luis Díaz and Darwin Núñez. Some of these players were eventually signed.
But none of them directly from South America.
It is that trend that Liverpool are now actively seeking to break and could be getting closer to their desired goal.
According TBR Football Liverpool are among a host of clubs very seriously interested in the services of Ian Subiabre.
And the site claims the Liverpool target has made his decision. The report claims that he has decided to sign for a Premier League club.
He doesn’t reveal who the club is, simply that he has communicated that he wants to move to England, which definitely increases Liverpool’s chances of signing him.

The 18-year-old attacker is a very interesting profile. He can play among the front three and it’s very exciting to watch him on the ball. Subiabre has quick feet and can beat any opponent when he is at full strength.
Despite his young age, he already has 19 senior appearances for River Plate, which would make it much easier for him to obtain a work permit in the United Kingdom.
Obviously, Liverpool would be a big step forward for the youngster (if he decides to join the Reds). However, you won’t be asked to come in and get to work right away.
He would first be given a chance to acclimatize. He might even play a few under-21 games before getting opportunities in the first team, where Slot could probably add another option to his attacking depth.
