Liverpool Transfer News: Latest on Luan and Christian Fuchs Rumours

Liverpool have reportedly made a £30 million offer for Gremio’s Luan, according to Brazilian media, while the Reds are said to be keeping an eye on the contract situation of Leicester City’s Christian Fuchs.

According to Brazilian radio station Futebol da Gaucha (h/t the Daily Telegraph’s Richard Amofa), Manchester United previously expressed an interest in Luan, an attacking midfielder who was the top breakout performer of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The Gremio man became a starter for Brazil as the tournament wore on, and per Selecao Brasileira, he played a massive role in the team’s run to the gold medal:

The 23-year-old falls somewhere between a traditional attacking midfielder like compatriot Kaka and a pure forward. He mostly leads the line for Gremio, but Brazil used him behind the attacking trio of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Barbosa to great effect.

Here’s a look at some of his highlights:
