We 'signed' Marcos Leonardo for Liverpool and the wonderkid became a star

Liverpool are reportedly preparing a bid for Santos and Brazilian wonderkid Marcos Leonardo, despite already bringing attacking talent through the door this summer in Darwin Nunez.

With the Premier League season commencing in just a few days time, it looks highly unlikely that Liverpool will be making any additions to their squad, with only exceptional circumstances potentially pushing the Reds to make any more signings this summer. Along with Nunez, Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsey have been brought to Anfield in the transfer window, with Jurgen Klopp insisting the Reds are done with transfers.

But, according to Brazilian outlet Bolavip, Liverpool and Klopp could look to bring Leonardo to the club this summer to add to the depth of the squad. The 19-year-old has impressed many at a young age, though his release clause is reportedly set at £50.3m.
