Liverpool make offer for 'new Neymar'

Klopp is keen to add some energy to his attack.
Rodrygo has been making an impression in the Santos youth team which has clearly not gone unnoticed.
Brazilian paper Globo Esporte claim the Reds have launched an offer.
However, it is thought Rodrygo was left stunned by the proposal.
It is said that the player has concerns about moving to Europe too soon, and his family want Santos to make their son feel as comfortable in order to help him cope with the transition to senior football.
Should he leave one day, he could follow in the footsteps of Santos’ most prodigal sons - Neymar.
Rodrygo has already made history by becoming the youngest ever player to sign a deal with Nike.
