Good Afternoon Eds,

Yesterday I saw a brief mention in an article elsewhere that Liverpool may be interested in Vinicius Jr. I used the search engine and found your only mentions of him related to the difficulty he's had at Madrid and how if Madrid were looking at Mane, it would be as a replacement for Vinicius.

Out of curiosity, does Liverpool have any interest in Vinicius Jr.? I know he's had a tough time at Madrid, but I do believe he is very talented.

Thanks!

{Ed002's Note - Vinicius Jr (LW) It has not been working out well for the player in Spain and Wolves have shown an interest in him but he would only be a second string to Diego Jota - and the asking price (circa €60M - although they may accept less) is seen as high (although they have quoted €80M to one English side who asked about him before). Arsenal have been approached but with Saka emerging on the left it is the issue of Pepe on the right and Aubameyangadingdong in the centre or left that needs the most consideration - but he shares and agent with Martinelli so there may be a discussion but Arsenal do not have the money to buy him. Chelsea have also been approached as he would provide an option to Hudson-Odoi on the left allowing Pulisic to move to his more natural right side. Others have been approached, and that will include Liverpool, PSG and Borussia Dortmund, but none would be in a position to look for more than a loan and Real Madrid need players gone to continue their rebuild. Real Madrid are taking the stance that they want him to stay and will not listen to offers - particularly loan offers. They think he will settle and the goals will come.}
