Liverpool could be at risk of being priced out of a deal for Palmeiras wonderkid, Endrick.
The 16-year-old is in high demand after a breakthrough season in his native Brazil, which has seen the teenage forward break into the first-team after a ridiculous scoring rate at youth level.
Endrick became Palmeiras' youngest-ever player at first-team level when making his first-team debut against Coritiba last month. Fewer than three weeks later, he became the club's youngest-ever goalscorer after bagging a brace in a 3-1 victory over Athletico Paranaense.

Earlier this year, he also helped his club clinch the Copinha after scoring seven goals in seven matches on his way to being recognised as the Player of the Tournament.
Liverpool are among the teams to have been linked with the youngster, who would not be permitted to join the Reds until the age of 18, but are reportedly facing strong competition from other European clubs in the battle to win the race for his services.
A latest report by Globo has claimed Paris Saint-Germain have already submitted an offer worth £70million for the youngster and his team-mate Estevao, which the recently-crowned Brazilian top flight champions have deemed below their valuation of the duo.
The report adds any decision over Endrick's future will 'be taken together with the athlete, family, businessmen and technical commission'. Offering an update on the latest state of play to Canal do Nicola, Endrick's father said: "Paris Saint-Germain are the only club that opened negotiations with Palmeiras with an official proposal, as things stand. There are many clubs from different countries keen on signing him. PSG have already moved."
