Liverpool could sign Federico Redondo in 2024, with the Argentinios Juniors midfield prodigy transfer listed for just £8m.
Although Kloop has denied any signings, Liverpool are expected to make a move in some capacity this Jan. Moreover, journalist Ben Jacobs has revealed that the Reds’ top targets are not being pursued now.
The Anfield boss claimed that concluding impactful signing deals in Jan is difficult. However, Liverpool would surely make a move if the right opportunity arises.
Liverpool transfer news- Federico Redondo
As per TEAMtalk, Liverpool are among the contenders to sign Argentinios Juniors midfielder Federico Redondo.
Meanwhile, Manchester United and Real Madrid are also interested in the young prodigy. Although the Reds might not swoop in for the player, the cheap price and huge prospect could change their minds.
Moreover, it could urge Klopp to approach the Argentine formally. The 20-year-old is currently one of the hottest commodities in Argentina. Moreover, the winter window offers the perfect chance to strengthen the Liverpool squad.
Player profile
The player has been described as a ‘baller’ by one journalist. Redondo has amassed 58 total appearances since rising from the youth ranks. He has 2 goals and 2 assists after last season’s impressive 87% pass completion. Moreover, he succeeded with 68% of his dribbles.
Meanwhile, the starlet ranks among the top 15% of midfielders across divisions like the Argentine Primera División for pass completion. Also, he ranks in the top 19% for attempted passes and 12% for progressive passes.
Moreover, he is in the top 15% for successful take-ons per 90. This showcases his skill as an elite-level “controller” in the centre. He is called the next Rodri and has a similar style of play.
However, to reach the Spaniards, he would need to develop and sharpen such attributes. The Manchester City midfielder is widely regarded as the best number 6 in the world.
Indeed, working under Klopp could surely take Rodondo to the next level.
