Liverpool looking to beat Manchester United and Chelsea in race to sign 18-year-old Scottish talent: Reports
Liverpool are reportedly looking to beat Manchester United and Chelsea in transfer race to sign Lennon Miller. The 18-year-old midfielder is currently playing for Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.
While speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke mentioned that Celtic are also interested in Lennon Miller. The Scottish giants will have to compete with the Premier League clubs' higher biddings to sign the Motherwell graduate.
Football Insider reported that scouts from Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, and Aston Villa were all present at the under-21s clash between Scotland and France, especially to observe Miller.
Lennon Miller's performances at Motherwell this season have attracted a lot of attention from prominent clubs. The young Scottish talent has netted four goals and provided three assists in 18 appearances across competitions for his club in the ongoing campaign.
While there is much competition in acquiring Miller's signature, Liverpool have previously beaten Celtic in signing Scottish stars, including Ben Doak. The 19-year-old arrived at Anfield for a reported compensation fee of £600,000 in 2022.
Since starting his senior career at his boyhood club in 2022, Lennon Miller has registered five goals and six assists in 55 appearances across competitions. He has started 17 out of the 18 matches he has featured in for Motherwell so far this season.
The midfielder's contract at the Scottish Premiership club runs until May 31, 2026.
Liverpool and Manchester United reportedly interested in signing former Chelsea player Christian Pulisic
Liverpool and Manchester United are reportedly keen on acquiring AC Milan's right-winger Christian Pulisic's signature in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Serie A club are not ready to let go of the 26-year-old for less than €60m, according to Calciomercato (via The Hard Tackle). Along with the Premier League arch-rivals, West Ham United have also reportedly shown interest in signing Christian Pulisic.
The Reds have reportedly wanted to bring the former Chelsea star to Anfield since he was with Borussia Dortmund from 2016 to 2019.
Following his four-season tenure at Chelsea, Christian Pulisic joined AC Milan in 2023, and his current contract there is valid until the summer of 2027. The Borussia Dortmund graduate has recorded seven goals and five assists in 15 appearances across competitions for I Rossoneri so far this season.
