Liverpool could be completely out of the running for the highly rated Brazilian youngster Endrick and PSG continue to push for the player’s signing.
Fabrizio Romano’s tweet update on the situation follows the revelation from the player’s father that the French outfit is the “only club” to have opened negotiations.
Deal Endrick. There is still no agreement between Paris Saint-Germain and Palmeiras after the opening of the offer revealed by the player’s father a few days ago. Nothing is agreed/done. ???????????? #transfers

The Reds were thought to have some interest in the teenager (as previously reported by Sky Sports), although there has been little progress on this front.

Since greatly strengthening the midfield department is still the priority, this is far from surprising.
Palmeiras recently valued Endrick at £35m (Sky Sports), although there is an expectation this could rise exponentially.
While it would be a shame to miss out on such talent, our current transfer model focuses on delivering players in the 20-24 age range and around who can deliver relatively instantly.
Simply put, however, the 16-year-old is not what Liverpool needs at the moment amid ongoing middle-of-the-park concerns.
