Liverpool are apparently in talks with Rayo Vallecano over their Romanian RB, Andrei Ratiu.
He turned 28 years old today, and has a release clause of €25m. Barcelona are also interested apparently.
Looked him up and he is extremely quick. Makes fast wingers look like they're running in treacle. Never seen him play before though as I hate La Liga football.

These are the type of signings we need. Left field ones that go under the rader. Not spending mega millions.

Looks alright as a 'stocking filler'. Be good for the money spent, but nothing to write home about in my opinion.

Mk, what's your opinion of these signings, like Munoz and this reported interest in this right back.
Seems like a risk to me, like Brendan Rodgers signing Welsh Xavi, etc.
Or they could be hidden gems.
Dnt know whether Hughes already had plans for them, or are they Iraola recommendations.

He plays on the right side, though, Dilly....

Nabeel, in my opinion these are the kind of signings we need. In the respect that if we sign a player like Munoz or Ratiu, it is because the scouts have seen something in them that made them stand out enough to believe that in the right environment and coaching set up, they can be top tier.
Any big club can look at a player like Isak or Wirtz and go sign them for £100m+.
Pulling a gem out of nowhere is what will get us back to the top because if we're just going to sign the best players for huge money, there are other clubs with more money than us who can just spend more. What can set us apart is if we sign the gems that go under the radar normally until they're 24/25 and then someone buys them from Brighton or Leipzig for £100m!

Just seen on X that Muniz was the 3rd quickest player in La Laga. The quickest was Ratiu. Iraola is definitely wanting to inject some pace into the squad.
