da prosport bet： As reported by The Guardian, Liverpool have emerged as the leading contenders to sign Porto defensive prospect Diogo Leite this summer.
What’s the story?
da aviator aposta： Liverpool are on a definite high right now after reaching the UEFA Champions League final, but in order to progress under Jurgen Klopp they need to ensure they have another strong transfer window ahead of next season.
Key to their strategy will be signing established players who can immediately improve the first team, but it’s clear that Klopp is also planning for the long-term at Anfield and bringing young talents who can one day reach the elite level is also part of his masterplan.
One such player could be Diogo Leite, according to The Guardian, who say Liverpool is the likeliest destination for the player this summer, with the defender having a £13.2m release clause in his contract.
The paper reckon if they get the deal done they’ll be sending him out on loan to get first team experience next season.
Who is he?
Still just 19 years of age, Leite has yet to make a senior appearance for the Portuguese side, but is a regular for their B-side in the country’s second-tier, making 27 appearances this season.
With U19 caps for his country too, it’s clear he has big potential and getting in early on that to develop him at Anfield would be a sound bit of business from the Reds.
