Liverpool to battle Barcelona for £450.000 wonderkid

Liverpool are battling Barcelona, Newcastle United and Fiorentina for Paris FC teenage striker Silas Wamangituka this summer. Paris FC head coach Stephane Gilli has confirmed that Liverpool have joined the race to sign 19-year-old striker. “Obviously it is the director of football who will be managing that situation, but clearly we would like to keep hold of him,” said Gilli speaking to Get Football French News. “It is true that there are a lot of scouts at the stadium every week, those clubs included, and many others. It is up to the club, the player and his agent to make the right choices. We want him to stay, but there is always that financial aspect, and he is a player who has a massive potential. “He is a great lad who works hard though, and all this interest around him has not changed him. His mindset and behaviour have been very good.” Born in DR Congo, Wamangituka moved to France to join Ales at the age of 17, before his transfer to Paris FC in 2018. The 19-year-old, who has a contract with his current club until the summer of 2021, has scored eight goals in 24 appearances in Ligue 2 during the current campaign. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is £450th. Source- Metro
