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.

Pls bredan rodgers allow luis suarez to leave for real madrid and use d money frm his sale and land these players such as ericksen,alderweireld,bernard and morata.Good deals,up lfc YNWA.
Thats wat im tlking bout….4 talented players > 1 top player….they will be Top players in the future
lfc grap erikson, benard and morata fast and sell luis suarez b4 transfer close.
Suarez is a gud player bou dnt kip him against his wish.he has made sum nasty comments abt lfc dt show no sign of bn gr8fl to dem.sell him n get dis young talents(eriksen n bernard).bou if u can mek him stay nt by forcing him it ll still b gud.YWNA
Br pls let Suarez leave,u cant continue 2 keep a player who’s interest is nt in d club.just sell cos if he stays he’ll definitely nt play well cos he’s mind is away frm anfield.YNWA
The problem with Liverpool is the way and manner they delay on targets that worth investing on,because of that other clubs with European qualifications continue to beats them to luring these players.
Rodgers and ayre are getting right on my *. Mourinho wants rid of mata. Why don’t we go for him and actually sign a player who has proved himself In the prem? We are constantly linked with future talented players but what about now? And let’s be honest we haven’t exactly got a good record for purchasing potential world class have we! They all turn out to be *! Unfortunately I can’t see us finishing higher than last season without signing 2 players with a prem league background.
I can’t wait to see Bernard with Dr Iqbal having his medical, but i have to admit that there may not be any movement because the only person that would continue the signing its in Jarkata with the team not in Brazil or Netherlands (for Eriksen). I feel all these targets is just to make we fans of lfc feel we can lure good players to the liverpoolFC, I don’t trust Ian, Henry with the way they are going about their business. I guess after the four signings, the total budget has been spent on their targets.
Bredan make hay while the sunshine,get eriksen,bernard,morata& others etc…
for all those who are dreaming nd mentioning names of even players you dont even know if they exist, i wont be surprisef if iyre or rodgers comes up with something like this “we ve just spotted 2 or 3 young nd potential super stars here in asia nd we hope to conclude the deals in a few days time to enable us have these great additions in the team as we continue our push for top4 this season”. its obvious how you wld react to that.

CHUKWUEMEKA…why are u so sarcastic dude or duded or whatever u are? Your thinking is as complecated as your name..being vocal is one thing but you are mocking our own club…not so wise buddy! So what if we really uncover some good Asian or Australian talents? Harry Kewel,Ji Sung Park,Keisuke Honda…ring any bell? Dont look down on others.
am not mocking our club, just that i wont be surprised if they come up with something like that. talking of uncovering talents nd potentials or whatever, dont you think we ve been doing that for a while now without results? assaidi, borini, allen, hendason, charlie adam, etc. my point is that what we need now is established players not really big names but those who can play their roles well. e.g diame, sissoko, etc.
Get a clue raam . You are talking bull
To be honest am sick n tired of BR, Iyre.n de Yankees..obviously Suarez is a world class player..also obviously we can do without him..good time to let him go for the right price n get this 3players in Eriksen ,Bernard, n Morata let. Move on..
I’ve heard it in the grapevine. National accident helpline
You’re all wasting you’re time posting about speculation!!! Not once has Lfc mentioned they are in negotiations with any of these players and never would till there signed. We were never given permission either by shaktar Donetsk to speak with H/M. Tell me a transfer target LFC have ever came out and said were after him????? Quite naive and only real fans not dreamers understand
CHUKWUEMEKA learn to spell our players names please it’s an insult really as we see them enough
I’m really tired with these whole speculations and rumours.It’s high time Lfc went ahead and signed players that can deliver.all these young boys can’t do it,there got to be real experience to boast their performance
Up liverpool
These speculations have nothing to do with liverpoolfc, these so called journalists are playing with our minds
why do you understand the history and the level wanted on if you sign the player think about returned the team in to compitation sign bernand is good so do it fast
We need prayers in our club liverpool to get somebody like Shiek Monsa of Man City & co,so dat all this speculation of buy dis & dat,bid or approach wil end up.
