Liverpool have reportedly made a £113m offer to sign Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, according to Spanish outlet Defensa Central.
It's been a productive summer transfer window for Liverpool so far, securing the signings of Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, and Florian Wirtz in terms of first-team additions. The Merseyside club have also strengthened in the goalkeeping department, but Alisson Becker is likely to remain as their number one.
Liverpool are yet to bring in a player to be deployed in their front three, with Wirtz likely to be utilised in an attacking midfield role, despite being capable of playing out wide. This could be next on the priority list for the Reds, with Vinicius a player they are reportedly pushing to bring to Anfield this summer.

GIVEMESPORT sources recently confirmed that Liverpool have rejected a bid from Bayern Munich for Diaz and have no intention of allowing him to depart. It's a similar story for Madrid and Vinicius, with the Spanish club remaining firm in their stance that they do not intend to sell the Brazilian international this summer.
Vinicius' contract runs until June 2027, and the club sees him as a cornerstone of their future, but the renewal process has hit a snag. It's claimed that Madrid won't allow the tricky winger to earn more than French superstar Kylian Mbappe, which has complicated negotiations over a new contract.
It's a substantial offer tabled from Liverpool, but Madrid don't appear too keen to allow Vinicius, described as a 'superstar' by Luka Modric, to head through the exit door in the coming weeks and months. Liverpool have also made an approach to sign Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, with a deal being discussed at around £120m.
