NOT content with just Coutinho, Liverpool FC are said to be chasing yet another attacking starlet hailing from Brazil, in the form of Bernard.
The Telegraph have reported that the Reds are interested in the exciting 20 year old attacker, and have approached his club, Atletico Mineiro.
Bernard is the latest star to garner excitement in Brazil, and is currently being mentored by none other than Ronaldinho. Both players combined to help their club reach the Copa Libertadores final last week at the expense of Reds cult hero, Maxi Rodriguez.
The starlet is said to have a release clause of around £20 million; a figure Liverpool are said to have available for one of their ‘marquee’ signings Brendan Rodgers recently promised would arrive this summer.
However, with the recently failure to capture Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Liverpool know they face an uphill battle to sign players of such quality, without the lure of Champions League football.
As with the hugely linked Christian Eriksen, the aforementioned Mkhitaryan, and now Bernard, Brendan Rodgers believes the club can offer some of the brightest talents around the globe the right environment to flourish – something Philippe Coutinho has demonstrated during his career so far at Anfield.

I know we are pushing to get it cheap, but we also need to be aggresive so that the deal is closed fast.. Marquee signing need to be settled in fast n he needs to join in pre-season early…
Hurry up get him, mortata and Erikson. I’ve told u how Ian. Get rid of that * suarez to real for – higuain/ mortata + 10 mil. Then sell higuain to arsenal for 30 mil. Then buy Eriksen – 15 mil and Bernard 20 mil and a defender. Hurry up Ian you *. Get us these class players so we can compete !!!!!!!!
Tired of hoping 🙁
What’s the point of showing interest, get on with the action!

i agree,there is too much talking about signing players and then we miss out on them.its best to get people in before start of seoson,to give new players some time to get us to system.get Deame of Villa and another right footed winger witch can deliver crosses and can chip in some goals.if saurez goes if we get a 5O mil offerwe shoul get a proven striker in now already then to leave it for to late.we much challenge for title this season with arsenal.top three all have new coaches.go for it bredan.
Liverpool should act fast before other club change their mind and they start to enter the race to sign Liverpool target.
I wld prefer Rodgers go 4 Eriksen rather than Bernard
I would prefer to sell Suarez and get Eriksen and Bernard together…and add Morata and Toby Alderweireld to the list……….and get a CDM and a LB in winter if we need help…
One of the brightest talents in world football I’ll sign him for £20-25m, I’ll take him before Eriksen anytime but why not both of them for £30-35m .
Liverpoo should buy players like morata,erikson,benard nd let suarez go.they should not sell suarez to arsenal pls.
Dont sale suarez to arsenal or any rivel that just wrong let them start biding war
But if he stay I will not sing he name ever again
it is some thing great that liverpool are approaching like this talent player BERNARD
Yup grab Eriksen , Morata , Bernard.. sell Suarez.. move on LFC .. move fast to get all the player LFC …
Good
Livpl shld go 4 attackin plyers,and let suarez go,i hate him now dont wana hear his name called suarez u re an ungrateful idiot
I think Liverpool should sell Suarez….He doesnt want to stay, so let him leave…40m + 17m that we still have to spend will get us Young Talents like Bernard, Eriksen, Leandro Damiao, Morata and “Toby Alderweireld or Kyriqos Papa”….Come On Liverpool, Just sell him….He’ll regret it later just like Torres Did….Move On..get Young Talents that will help us win trophies in the future 🙂
