Liverpool locks in 21-year-old Brazilian star, Arnold s best stand-in

Considering that Arnold will likely leave the team this summer, Liverpool is currently looking for his replacement all over the world. According to Brazilian reporter Bruno Lemos, Liverpool has found a very favorite target to sign, which is Flamenco right-back Wesley in Brazil.

Arnold, 26 years old this year, is in the golden period of his career. He not only has steady defense, but also passes accurately and has extremely creative frontcourt. In the past 9 seasons, he has made great contributions to Liverpool. However, as his contract with the club expires in June this year, he is likely to choose to leave Anfield and switch to La Liga giants Real Madrid. That's why Liverpool is looking for his replacement everywhere.

Wesley, only 21 years old this year, has been shining in flamenco in recent seasons. This season, he has played 17 times in various competitions for the team, not only scoring 1 goal, but also contributing 2 assists. Although the data is not very dazzling, the comprehensiveness he showed on the court is eye-catching.

As a modern full-back, Wesley has excellent offensive awareness. He is often able to use his speed and dribbling skills to quickly plug in on the right, creating extremely threatening offensive opportunities for the team. On the defensive end, he was also unambiguous. With his good physical fitness and defensive awareness, he was able to complete multiple steals and interceptions per game, effectively protecting the team's right-hand defense line. According to statistics, he played as many as 51 games for Flamenco in the 2024 season, and such a high appearance frequency is enough to prove his importance in the team.

If Liverpool can really sign the 21-year-old Brazilian talented star, it will undoubtedly find a best replacement for Arnold. However, it is not that easy for Liverpool to sign Wesley, because in addition to Liverpool, there are five European giants including Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Barcelona who are chasing Wesley.

The ability to get so many European giants to pursue at once is enough to show Wesley's potential and value. Flamenco internally expects Wesley to sell for no less than €30 million, while his current German turnover price is €15 million. Considering that he has become a hot item in the transfer market, the final transfer fee is expected to be far more than €30 million.

As the summer transfer window approaches, there are more and more rumors about transfers around Wesley. Can Liverpool successfully sign this talented Brazilian star? Let's wait and see.
