Liverpool have emerged as admirers of Uruguayan winger Nicolas Scotti, according to South American media. The 16-year-old, who plays for Defensor Sporting in Montevideo, marked his Uruguay Under-18s debut with a goal and an assist against Uzbekistan in August.
Scotti could be available for a fee below his £5.9 million release clause, potentially opening the door for clubs with less financial firepower than Liverpool to enter the race. He has featured in senior action as a substitute but is yet to register a league goal.
The teenager is being tracked by Brazilian giants alongside European clubs, indicating the level of interest in his development. Liverpool’s scouting network continues to monitor emerging talent in South America as Andoni Iraola’s side look to build for the future.
