Real Madrid ace Endrick has emerged as a potential addition for Liverpool in the summer transfer window, with the Reds seemingly lodging interest in the forward.
It comes as Andoni Iraola is in need of new options up front, with the Reds eyeing up a winger on either side before the transfer market comes to a close. Liverpool is in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Bradley Barcola, with the forward viewed as an ideal option to improve the left wing.
On the right, there are several other options to help improve the team with quality and depth, with Ibrahim Mbaye of PSG viewed as one possible arrival, while Liverpool has recently had a $68 million bid for Brighton's Yankuba Minteh rejected.
Those options could help bolster the team moving forward, but the Reds are still seemingly exploring the market for other players who could improve the side, without costing a lot of money.
With that in mind, ESPN reports that Real Madrid ace Endrick has emerged as a potential option for Liverpool late in the summer transfer window.
It's claimed that the Reds have expressed interest in landing the Brazilian on a potential loan deal, amid doubts over his possible playing time under Jose Mourinho this season.
The forward spent the second half of last season on loan at Lyon, where he scored eight goals and assisted another eight in just 21 appearances for the French club.
Upon his return, teams have been queueing up for a move just in case he becomes available, with Aston Villa joining Liverpool in showing interest.

However, the report claims that Endrick has no interest in leaving Real Madrid, while Mourinho is seemingly on the same page about the 20-year-old.
That seemingly rules out the possibility of the striker making his way to Anfield, or anywhere else, in the final few weeks of the transfer window.
It comes as an unfortunate blow for Liverpool, as the youngster could offer quality in depth for the team, without costing a fortune in the market.
Instead, it seems as though the Reds will need to look at other options, whether they are as loans or potential permanents before the transfer window closes.
With under two weeks of the market left, the players who are available will be few and far between, but there could be some surprise options who are on the radar for the club.
