Liverpool is interested in signing a player from Brighton and is already making plans for future transfers.

Ever since his arrival at Brighton, Joao Pedro has been making quite the impression. Rumor has it that Liverpool is interested in signing the striker and may begin negotiations in January. The 23-year-old Brazilian joined Watford in 2020 and had a successful stint with the team, scoring 24 goals in 109 appearances in both the Premier League and Championship. Then, in the summer of 2023, Brighton snagged him for a hefty £30 million fee, and he did not disappoint in his first season with the club, scoring 20 goals in all competitions.

However, Pedro's progress has been hindered by injuries this season, but he has still managed to make an impact when available, scoring four goals and providing three assists in nine games. This has caught the attention of Liverpool, according to reports from Brazilian publication UOL. The Reds have been closely monitoring Pedro's development for years and are now ready to make their move in 2025. They plan to open negotiations with Brighton in January and hope to secure a transfer for the summer.

Pedro's current contract with Brighton runs until 2028, so the club will likely ask for a hefty fee if they are to let go of their star striker. It would certainly be more than the £30 million they paid for him, and it would be another high-profile transfer between the two clubs after Alexis Mac Allister's move from Brighton to Liverpool in 2023 for an initial fee of £35 million, potentially rising to £55 million with add-ons.

If the transfer does go through, it would be a significant blow to Brighton's struggling striker Darwin Nunez, who has been under fire from Liverpool fans for his lack of form and goals. Manager Arne Slot spoke about Nunez's struggles after a recent game, acknowledging that he has missed some chances but also pointing out that it could be a result of low confidence or a temporary slump that all strikers experience. Nonetheless, Slot would have liked to see Nunez score and hopes that he can regain his scoring touch soon.

In the meantime, Liverpool could have a new striker in their squad next season in the form of Joao Pedro, adding even more firepower to their already formidable attack.
