Liverpool FC are reportedly tracking another exciting young talent, with FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski emerging as a potential target.
The 17-year-old has been attracting attention across Europe and, interestingly, has been described as stylistically similar to Luis Díaz — a comparison that will immediately catch the eye of Liverpool supporters.
What we know so far
According to reports, Pietuszewski currently has a £52 million release clause, with Porto already looking to increase that figure as interest grows.
That tells you everything about how highly they rate him.
At just 17, he’s already:
On the radar of top clubs
Showing significant attacking potential
Being compared to an established Liverpool star
Why Liverpool would be interested
This type of move fits Liverpool’s recent approach.
Under Arne Slot, the club appears focused on:
Young, high-upside talent
Players who can develop into key figures
Long-term planning rather than short-term fixes
If Pietuszewski truly mirrors Díaz’s style — direct, quick, aggressive in one-on-one situations — then it’s easy to see why Liverpool are interested.
A familiar profile
The Díaz comparison isn’t just hype — it points to a specific type of player:
Direct running at defenders
High energy and intensity
Ability to create something out of nothing
A constant attacking threat
That’s exactly what Liverpool have relied on in wide areas in recent years.
My view
Personally, this is an exciting link — but also one that comes with risk.
At 17, £52 million is a huge investment.
That said, if the recruitment team believe he has the potential to develop into the next Díaz-type player, it could be another forward-thinking move.
We’ve seen before how Liverpool can identify and develop talent — and this feels like it could fall into that category.
Final thought
Right now, it’s just interest.
But it’s a reminder of the direction Liverpool seem to be heading — targeting young, dynamic players with high ceilings.
Oskar Pietuszewski might not be a name everyone knows yet…
…but if these links are genuine, he could be one to watch very closely.
