Liverpool and manchester united They are reportedly interested in signing Brighton and Hove Albion striker Joao Pedro, according to a Spanish outlet. Transfers.
The 23-year-old has been in good form so far this season, scoring four goals and providing three assists. He helped his team beat Manchester United by scoring a late goal earlier this season and scored the equalizer against Arsenal – which helped his team emerge from Emirates Stadium with a point.
In addition, he scored and assisted on a goal against city of manchester in it first division. Following his impressive performances in the English top flight, he was selected to play for Brazil in the September international break and even made his international debut against Paraguay in a World Cup qualifier.
Now, Transfers They claim that Liverpool have been attracted by Pedro's recent eye-catching performances and have set their sights on signing him to strengthen the front line.
The 'reds' want to sign a new striker to replace him Mohamed Salah – whose current contract expires at the end of this season and have identified the South American as the perfect option.

Brighton are expected to demand a hefty fee to sell the forward, who is under contract until 2028 at the AMEX Stadium. The report says Man Utd have also expressed interest in signing Pedro having been impressed by his performances, so Arne Slot's side will have to overcome the challenge of their arch-rivals to seal the deal and are “determined” to do it.
Pedro is a versatile player as he feels comfortable playing both in the center forward position and on the wings. Now, Fabian Hurzeler has been using him in the attacking midfield position this season.
Liverpool's attack will need reinforcement if they ultimately fail to retain Salah, while Man Utd's attack has underperformed in recent years, so they could do with adding a new face in this position.
Pedro would be a smart acquisition for Man Utd or Liverpool if either club buys him. However, the striker has had injury problems of late and his potential suitors will have to be wary of that before making any potential move for him.
