Liverpool reportedly made contact over a move for highly-rated Wolves youngster Mateus Mane during the summer, a new transfer report has claimed. Mateus Mane could be an ideal Liverpool signing in 2027 Mane is a huge talent with most of his career ahead of him, and he could be a fantastic signing for Liverpool, having been praised by Paul Merson in the past: “He is something for the fans, they need something to get them up.

He is enthusiastic, he has scored a couple of goals and he looks like he could be a superstar. He works hard and I like his attitude.

It is like, if Mane plays we’ve got a chance, when really he should be coming in for a couple of games and then coming back out.” Mane is at his best on the left wing, which means signing him may only make sense if Cody Gakpo leaves next summer, but Bradley Barcola and Rio Ngumoha are also options there. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
