Liverpool is on the verge of securing an exciting young talent as they narrow down their options.
Though the transfer window is currently closed, Richard Hughes is actively pursuing players. This time last year, he initiated discussions with Milos Kerkez’s representatives to assess the Hungarian’s interest in a potential move to Anfield.

Prior to targeting Hugo Ekitike, Alexander Isak, and Florian Wirtz, Hughes was already establishing rapport with their agents.
He is likely consulting the same circles now, though it’s yet to be seen who might be on his list of targets.
True to form, as with his previous targets, he will likely keep his pursuits confidential for as long as possible.
Liverpool has a history of making shrewd, discreet transfers, contributing to their success over the years.
However, navigating the South American market has remained a challenge for them. For years, Liverpool has maintained a robust scouting presence in this region.
The club’s scouts have been tracking players like Rodrygo since their youth and even secured the Brazilian at one point.
Players like Julian Alvarez, Luis Diaz, and Darwin Nunez have also been on Liverpool’s radar, with some eventually being signed.
Yet, none of those transfers occurred directly from South America.
This trend is one Liverpool aims to change, and they might be close to their target.
As reported by TBR Football, Liverpool is among several clubs seriously considering Ian Subiabre.
The report indicates that Subiabre has made his choice—he intends to join a Premier League club.
While the specific club isn’t named, his expressed desire to move to England certainly enhances Liverpool’s chances of signing him.

The 18-year-old forward is a fascinating prospect. He can operate across the front three and is a joy to watch with the ball. Subiabre possesses quick footwork and is capable of outmaneuvering opponents effortlessly.
Despite his youth, he already holds 19 senior appearances for River Plate, facilitating the process for obtaining a work permit in the UK.
Moving to Liverpool would be a significant progression for the young talent (should he choose to accept the offer), but he won’t be expected to make an immediate impact.
He’ll likely be given time to adjust, possibly starting off in a few U21 matches before transitioning into first-team duties, adding valuable depth to Slot’s attacking options.
