Andoni Iraola wants to sign South American wonderkid for Liverpool, he'd cost £6m

Andoni Iraola aims to bring a South American prodigy to Liverpool, with the young talent estimated to cost £6 million. Liverpool has been focusing on developing their squad for the future, with players like Kerkez, Isak, Ekitike, and Wirtz currently contributing to the team. While these young players have already proven themselves as some of the best the Reds have, the club remains vigilant in monitoring the transfer market for potential additions.

As a result, Liverpool has set its sights on 16-year-old sensation Nicolas Scotti, currently playing for Defensor in Uruguay. Scotti has already caught the eyes of major European and Brazilian clubs, including São Paulo and Atlético-MG, after being inquired about by both. Liverpool, along with other European clubs, is reportedly interested in the promising player, whose release clause stands at US$8 million (approximately R$41 million), a figure considered attainable even for Brazilian teams.

Defensor acknowledges the financial pressures on the club and may be open to trading Scotti for a value below his release clause. Scotti, a right-winger, is seen as a great prospect for Uruguayan football and may eventually represent the senior team. If Liverpool moves quickly, they could secure Scotti for around £6 million, as other clubs are also showing interest in the Uruguayan attacker.
