Returning to Liverpool, Michael Edwards will take on the job of CEO of Football, helping the team adjust to life without Jurgen Klopp.

The 44-year-old will undoubtedly have his own ideas on how to accomplish that, and Liverpool’s goal of maintaining a youthful squad will undoubtedly play a big role in recruitment.

Since Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino left, Liverpool has made a significant investment in South American attackers, paying £37 million on Luis Diaz and £64 million on Darwin Nunez.

Another new arrival at Anfield is Alexis Mac Allister, a South American.

Now, if rumors about Michael Edwards are accurate, he might bring another to Liverpool.

Liverpool’s Michael Edwards wants a £40 million Brazilian.

The Daily Mail claims that Liverpool is now interested in signing Luis Guilherme.

Liverpool is reportedly keeping a close eye on Palmeiras No. 31, who can play centrally as the No. 10 or on the wing.

This summer, Palmeiras will ask for £40 million for Guilherme. The Brazilian powerhouses don’t really need the money after selling Endrick to Real Madrid for an incredible £60 million.

Gabriel Jesus was also developed by the Brasileiro Série A in the past, demonstrating their aptitude at developing forwards, which is encouraging for Guilherme’s future.

Luis Guilherme: who is he?

Given that Guilherme is only 18 years old, some may not expect him to immediately contribute to the senior team if Liverpool does sign him.

Though the Brazil U20 international is really faster than Erling Haaland, the adolescent has enough speed to be a threat to defenders in the Premier League.

According to The Beautiful Game, Guilherme’s highest speed was 36.4 km/h in the Copa do Brasil U17 final versus Vasco da Gama in 2022.

Haaland’s fastest speed, according to SpeedsDB, is 36.2 km/h, making the Liverpool target quicker than one of the swiftest attackers in Europe.

 

Edwards is still keeping an eye on Guilherme, so make sure you keep a watch on this.
