According to reports, the Reds are prepared to make every effort to sign the 17-year-old attacking midfielder, whose interest in him only recently surfaced. The Premier League powerhouses would be willing to pay Mastantuono’s $45 million release clause, which would increase to $50 million in the last few weeks of the transfer window.

But considering the club’s unstable financial status, it seems improbable that they would invest a significant sum of money on a 17-year-old who has no prior European football experience. As a result, Liverpool is now in the lead for Mastantuono, however it’s unclear if the Argentine sensation will ultimately relocate to England.
