Liverpool have begun their pursuit of a highly rated midfielder from a struggling La Liga side.

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Valencia midfielder Yunus Musah, with the Reds in need of defensive reinforcements

Liverpool’s interest in Musah has been reported by 90Min, with the American’s future at Valencia looking uncertain as the club fights for La Liga survival.

The Spanish club is currently in the relegation zone in Spain, and Musah is being pursued by the Reds, with the possibility of leaving Valencia if the club is relegated to La Liga 2.

This season, the 20-year-old has missed just three La Liga games while grabbing two assists and being one of his struggling team’s few bright spots.

Musah’s contract with Valencia expires in 2026, and according to 90Min, the USA international has an £89 million release clause in his contract. With Liverpool looking to bolster their engine room this summer as they prepare for the departures of Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain and Naby Keita, a deal for Musah could be pursued.

After Liverpool’s pursuit of Jude Bellingham ended a few weeks ago, they will no doubt be looking for the next best young midfield stars, and Musah could become one of the hottest names in football within the next few seasons.
