The Liverpool manager is a known admirer of the player and is reportedly keen on the idea of bringing him this summer.

According to the report, “Liverpool have made a move for Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior. Okdiario says Liverpool have made contact with Vinicius Junior over a proposed transfer this summer. Jurgen Klopp has made the 19-year-old forward a ‘main priority’ with the German boss a fan of his talent and is now keen for Liverpool to pursue him. Vinicius is also said to be an admirer of Klopp’s work and knows Liverpool previously made enquiries for his services last year. Liverpool, along with PSG, have now reportedly contacted the player’s representatives to sound out the possibility of a deal. Vinicius made his breakthrough at Real this season with Eden Hazard out injured and has four goals to his name in all competitions. However, with Hazard and Marco Asensio now both available for when La Liga returns later this month, he finds himself battling for a starting spot.”
