🚨 Liverpool Eye Shock Move for Premier League Forward Amid Striker Hunt – Man United Also Interested? 👀

Liverpool’s search for a new striker has taken an unexpected twist, with fresh reports suggesting the Reds are now exploring a surprise target from within the Premier League.

After already securing deals for Jeremie Frimpong, Florian Wirtz, and Milos Kerkez, the Merseyside club isn’t slowing down. Manager Arne Slot is still pushing for another attacking addition as question marks remain over the futures of Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.

Nunez continues to be linked with Napoli, though Liverpool are standing firm on their valuation. Meanwhile, Diaz has drawn strong interest from European giants Barcelona and Bayern Munich, keeping the door open for a potential exit.

Now, in a surprising turn, French outlet Foot Mercato claims Liverpool are weighing up a move for Crystal Palace frontman Jean-Philippe Mateta. The report suggests the club has already engaged in talks with the 28-year-old’s camp in Paris.

It’s believed a fee in the region of €50–60 million could be enough to tempt Palace into a deal, despite Mateta being tied to a long-term contract until 2027.

Could this be the curveball signing that blindsides rivals like Manchester United? 👀
