Liverpool are looking at a number of potential signings and could now make a move for one of Barcelona’s most promising young talents.

The Reds are expecting a busy old summer this year as the return of Michael Edwards brings a new strategy in the market with Jurgen Klopp gone.

Arne Slot is also now the man in charge, and he’ll also be keen on making a few new signings.

Over the weekend, a host of names including Douglas Luiz, Mohammed Kudus and once again, Crysencio Summerville, have all been mentioned as players of interest.

However, a new report from Spain now lists another name in the form of Barcelona youngster Mikayil Faye.

Liverpool interested in signing Barcelona’s Mika Faye

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Faye is considering his options this summer and there are a number of clubs interested in signing him.

Among those clubs is Liverpool. The Reds are named as one of a few Premier League sides who like the look of Faye.

Faye is currently part of the Barcelona B side but is highly-rated in Spain and had previously got the attention of now former Barca boss, Xavi.

“Yes, he has already played in some friendly matches. He is a capable footballer, he is aggressive, he is fast, he can get the ball out well. He could help us at some point. He has the level, without a doubt,” he said in April.

Faye has already won a senior cap for Senegal and is seen as yet another top young player currently under Barca’s control.

Barcelona’s president and board already have it in for the English clubs at the moment after the vetoing of the Super League so if Liverpool pinched a top player from them it would go down like a lead balloon.

Clearly, Mika Faye is a top young player and the fact Xavi has his eye on him suggests he’s done enough to impress since arriving.

Of course, the step into the Premier League is a massive one and this would surely be a signing for the future from FSG.

However, it’s nice to see these players being looked at and at just 19, Faye has a long career ahead of him.
