Liverpool have made an enquiry regarding Isaque Severino Silva, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder currently with Brazilian club Fluminense, signaling their intent to tap into the South American talent pool[1][3]. The young player is described as a "gem" and has attracted interest not just from Liverpool but also from Manchester City and Shakhtar Donetsk, the latter having made an early bid of around £6 million that Fluminense rejected due to Isaque's promising potential and contract running until 2029[1].
Isaque has already made 12 senior appearances for Fluminense and featured on a global stage during the recent Club World Cup against Chelsea, highlighting his rapid development and growing international profile[1]. As a Brazil U20 international, he impressed with his goal-scoring and playmaking abilities, netting a notable goal against Paraguay and contributing 19 goal involvements in 29 appearances for Fluminense's U17 and U20 teams, with 9 goals and 10 assists[2].
Technically skilled and tenacious, Isaque fits the mold of a modern, progressive midfielder Liverpool seek—a player confident in tight spaces with strong ball progression traits. The comparison to former Liverpool star Roberto Firmino is frequently noted, both stylistically and visually, marking him as a cult hero-type prospect for the Reds' future squad[2].
While Liverpool's interest remains at the enquiry stage without a formal offer, the move aligns with long-standing recruitment strategies led by Michael Edwards and his staff to continuously monitor Brazilian talents, as was the case previously with players like Rodrygo and Marcelo Pitaluga[2]. Liverpool’s evolving squad under manager Arne Slot appears set to integrate such emerging talents to sustain competitive momentum[1][4].
