Liverpool have made the "next Kylian Mbappe" - Palmeiras teenage sensation Luis Guilherme - a top target ahead of the summer window, sources have told Football Insider.

The Reds considered a formal January move for the 18-year-old but eventually decided against firming up their interest.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider that Liverpool are now plotting a summer swoop for Guilherme.

Sources say the Merseysiders consider him a "top target" ahead of the off-season.

It is believed the teenager has attracted a lot of interest from other top European sides after his senior breakthrough in Brazil.

Liverpool target has been clocked at a top speed of 36.4km/h Guilherme only made his senior debut for Palmeiras in April 2023 but has already racked up 32 appearances across all competitions.

The winger plays for the Brazillian champions alongside fellow wonderkid Endrick, who has already agreed a move to Real Madrid.

He is already renowned for his electric pace and has clocked similar speeds to Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe. The teenager clocked an astonishing top speed of 36.4km/h in 2022.

Guilherme is already capped by Brazil at Under-20 level despite only turning 18 earlier this month.

He would become just one of several top young talents on the books at Anfield.

Harvey Elliott, Stefan Bajcetic and Conor Bradley have already made waves in the first-team under Jurgen Klopp - while highly-rated winger Ben Doak is yet to make his senior breakthrough.

Liverpool are top of the Premier League after 25 games - with Arsenal and Man City in close pursuit.
