The club has reportedly agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old midfielder Gabriel Schluter from Blackpool, continuing their effort to strengthen not just the first team, but the pipeline behind it.

The Reds have already made waves this summer with signings like Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Jeremie Frimpong.



Schluter is the latest piece in that puzzle, as per reports via Football Insider.

If you’ve never heard of Gabriel Schluter, don’t worry — you’re not alone.

Clubs like Fulham were circling, but it’s Liverpool who won the race.

Blackpool boss Steve Bruce didn’t hide his frustration, saying, “This is the problem we all face… the big boys come calling, so you lose them.”

It’s a familiar story in modern football — one club’s future becomes another club’s present.

Liverpool fans shouldn’t expect to see Schluter at Anfield on opening day.

But with the club’s recent track record in developing youth, don’t be surprised if he starts knocking on the door in the coming years.

After all, every Harvey started somewhere.
