Marco Bueno’s club Pachuca have confirmed that a deal is close to see the young striker have a 10 day trial at Liverpool from August 1st, vice-president Andres Fassi said:
“We are conducting negotiations with Liverpool and possibly, on August 1, Marco Bueno will pay a visit to Liverpool. We have already practically closed negotiations with them. They want to buy 100 per cent of the rights.”

The tournament was held in Mexico and the team battled its way through the tournament to beat France in the quarter finals, Germany in the semis and Uruguay 2-0 in the final. Bueno scored one goal in the tournament, against Panama in the group stages, shown below:
