Liverpool make enquiry for Brazilian teenager as transfer fee set amid PSG interest

Liverpool have made an official enquiry for Palmeiras attacking midfielder Erick Bele, 19, with a £25m fee mooted; PSG also interested.

Liverpool have contacted Palmeiras about Brazilian teenager Erick Bele, an attacking midfielder who has impressed in Brazil's Under-20 setup. Palmeiras have indicated they would accept as little as £25m for the 19-year-old, though no formal bid has been submitted yet.

Bele signed his first professional contract with Palmeiras in 2025 and has made two first-team appearances while continuing to excel in the youth ranks, scoring four goals in eight CBF Brasileiro Under-20 matches this season. PSG are also tracking the prospect.

Palmeiras rejected a loan offer from Parma with a permanent option this summer, instead tying Bele down to a new deal through 2031, though their asking price remains unchanged. Liverpool could move for him in the January window.
