Report: Liverpool must pay £35m to sign Brazilian wonderkid Liverpool step up pursuit of Erick Bele as Palmeiras demand rises Liverpool’s recruitment drive in South America appears to be gathering pace, with Erick Bele emerging as the latest name on their radar. Reports originating from Brazil, including details carried by ESPN , indicate that the Merseyside club are closely monitoring the 19-year-old Palmeiras playmaker, whose reputation is accelerating across Europe. Bele is not yet a household name, but within scouting circles he is regarded as one of the most technically gifted prospects in his age bracket.
Operating primarily as an attacking midfielder or second striker, the left-footer has built his profile through standout displays at youth level, particularly with Palmeiras’ U20 side and Brazil’s U20 national team. Interest is not limited to Liverpool. Paris Saint-Germain and Parma are also credited with tracking the youngster, underlining the growing competition for his signature.
According to the original source, “Erick Belé is being targeted by clubs such as Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Parma,” with multiple teams “signaling offers in the region of 20 million euros. ” Transfer valuation and contract stance Despite that early market activity, Palmeiras are holding firm on valuation. The Brazilian club have reportedly set their price at €40 million, which equates to roughly £35 million.
That figure reflects both Bele’s potential ceiling and Palmeiras’ desire to retain control over his development. The original source makes it clear that Palmeiras are in no rush to sell. “However, Palmeiras is considering double that, 40 million euros… for Erick Belé, in addition to giving the youngster more playing time in the first team.
