According to reports coming out of Brazil, Liverpool are currently scouting the Brazil international who has enjoyed a successful career so far.
The 19-year old is known as one of the hottest properies in Brazilian football at the moment with his performances inspiring Sao Paulo’s title challenge.
Speculation has increased over this month as the scouts used to sign Lucas Leiva from Gremio in 2007, have began watching the attacking midfielder. There would be competition for the youngster as he is being watched by a range of other clubs including Lazio, Malaga and Marseille.
But the Premier League side believes they would be able to lure him to the Kenny Dalglish revolution because, whilst on international duty, he shares a room with Lucas Leiva.
Whilst a move in January would appear unlikely, it is reported that Liverpool are looking to arrange a deal for next summer as they see him as a future prospect.
