Liverpool Target Surprise Premier League Striker Amid Ongoing Search — Man United Monitoring Situation 👀
Liverpool’s striker hunt has taken an unexpected direction, with new reports indicating the club is eyeing a surprise option from within the Premier League.
Following the arrivals of Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez, the Reds remain active in the market, with manager Arne Slot keen to bolster the attack further. Questions still linger over the futures of Darwin Núñez and Luis DÃaz.
Núñez continues to be linked with Napoli, though Liverpool are holding firm on their asking price. At the same time, DÃaz has attracted serious interest from Barcelona and Bayern Munich, leaving the door open for a potential departure.
Now, in a surprising development, French outlet Foot Mercato reports that Liverpool are considering a move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Talks have reportedly already begun with the 28-year-old’s representatives in Paris.
A fee between €50–60 million may be enough to convince Palace to sell, despite Mateta being under contract until 2027.
Could this unexpected move catch rivals like Manchester United off guard? 👀
Stay tuned as the story unfolds…
