ED002,

Hope you're well!
Is there interest from Liverpool in São Paulo's 19yr old Brazilian Gustavo Maia - seems to be valued around £4mill.
I believe that Barcelona have the first option to buy him until mid July, is that correct?
If Barcelona don't go ahead with the deal, as things have yet to progress due to the current climate, Liverpool will take advantage of the situation.
Just wanted you to please clarify if the above is some what accurate or incorrect.

Personal view - moves and plays like a young Coutinho, nice prospect.

Much appreciated
Tommy T.

{Ed002's Note - Gustavo Maia (S) Prolific Sao Paulo reserves youngster who is expected to have a very good career and has been scouted by numerous sides. Atletico Madid and Shakhtar Donetsk have tried to strike a deal but it will likely be Barcelona who will win out as they have already deposited a reserve payment - with an option to complete by making a further payment this summer. A move to England is unlikely for a number of reasons, not least he would never be Home Grown.}

I'd love to have a player at Liverpool with that name. My 11 year old daughter's name is Maia, and maybe it would pique her interest in watching Liverpool more if there was a player with that name.

Apart from that, I cannot add anymore to the conversation as I've never seen him play.
