Liverpool are willing to offer Roma starlet Gianluca Scamacca a huge £135,000 annual salary to join the Anfield club in the near future.

The 15 year old has come to prominence in the last season for the Stadio Olimpico club, and has been dubbed the ‘new Zlatan Ibrahimovic’ as a result.

He is considered to be one of Italy’s brightest stars, and has already represented his country at Under-17 level, showing his prodigious talent.

Brendan Rodgers has invested in youth before, and looks set to do the same again, laying out a significant salary on the young star, someone who he clearly believes can be a star of the future for the Reds.

Scamacca is already 6ft 4in, which bodes well for his ability to adapt to the English game, and has been known to bully defences that he comes up against.

He has scored 34 goals in only 30 games for Roma’s youth side, which has attracted interest from elsewhere.

PSV Eindhoven had him to their training ground, and may prove Liverpool’s greatest rivals for his signature.

Roma are set to offer him a new deal, but Scamacca’s family and representatives believe he will be able to get a better offer from abroad.
