Liverpool Target Joao Pedro Asks to Leave Brighton
In a development that could reshape Liverpool’s attacking options ahead of the new season, Joao Pedro a rising star and key figure at Brighton has reportedly asked to leave Brighton, opening the door for a potential summer switch to Anfield.
The 22-year-old Brazilian forward, who enjoyed an impressive campaign with the Seagulls, has emerged as a top Liverpool target in recent weeks. According to sources close to the player, Joao Pedro is eager to take the next step in his career and test himself at a club with Champions League ambitions.
Liverpool transfer news has been buzzing with links to Pedro, whose technical ability, flair, and eye for goal have made him one of the Premier League’s standout young forwards. His versatility across the front line makes him an ideal fit for Jurgen Klopp’s dynamic system, especially with the Reds looking to refresh their attack amid possible outgoings.
Brighton, known for their strong negotiating stance, are reportedly reluctant to lose their star striker, but Joao Pedro’s formal request to leave has put the South Coast club in a difficult position. The player’s current contract runs until 2028, meaning any potential deal would come at a premium though Liverpool are believed to be willing to meet the valuation if personal terms can be agreed swiftly.
With the window heating up and the Reds keen to finalize key signings early, Joao Pedro’s situation will be one to watch closely. If a deal materializes, it could be a major coup for Liverpool and a significant loss for Brighton as they head into a new season without one of their brightest talents.
