Liverpool in advanced talks to sign Portuguese midfielder

Rafael Camacho joined Manchester City in the summer of 2014 from Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.

The 15-year-old is a highly rated midfielder in Portugal, and is often regarded as “one of the best talents” to have emerged from the country in his age group.

Camacho has scored three goals in five appearances for his country’s under-16s, but it seems City scouts are not too impressed with his development, as they’ve made him clear that he is unlikely to win a professional deal at the Etihad.

According to reports from ESPN, Liverpool are closing in on the midfielder, and talks are underway to bring him to Anfield.
