Liverpool are keen on signing Brighton’s Joao Pedro as a Darwin Nunez replacement during this June window.
Joao Pedro on Liverpool’s Radar for £59m Switch
Liverpool are expected to formally make a move this summer and pay a fee of £59 million for Joao Pedro of Brighton. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the Brazilian is open to a fresh start. At just 23, the player has impressed across the Premier League. He is now a primary target for the Reds. The club is looking to refresh their attacking line under new head coach Arne Slot.
Liverpool’s Michael Edwards has been keeping tabs on Pedro since his Watford days. And he now looks set to act. With Darwin Nunez likely to leave for Atletico Madrid, the path is clear for a new arrival.
Joao is not a traditional number nine though. He can bring versatility, ability to operate as a winger or in a creative role behind the striker. That flexibility fits perfectly with Slot’s dynamic style of play.
A Smart Move Backed by Stats and Long-Term Vision
The Brighton star isn’t just hype, his numbers back it up. He has managed to get 10 goals and 6 assists in 27 league games this season. he Brazilian has shown he can produce in the Premier League. Add in 20 goals in all competitions last season, and it’s no surprise Reds see him as a top option.
More than his stats, it’s the player’s decision-making, movement, and maturity on the ball that stand out. At 23, he’s entering his prime and could hit with the right guidance. The move also shows Michael Edwards’ influence on the transfer. Early reports are linking him to other savvy targets like Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez.
This isn’t just a reaction to Nunez’s form, it’s part of a well-planned rebuild. Pedro can also sign before the window opens on June 1. If completed it could signal the start of new bold and ambitious recruitment at Anfield.
