The Fluminense stopper is due on Merseyside to complete his medical in the coming days. He will then join up with Barry Lewtas’ Liverpool U23s squad. Pitaluga comes highly recommended by Liverpool’s Brazil international goalkeeper Alisson.

Liverpool’s 19-year-old right-back has been nominated as part of a 40-man list for the 2020 Golden Boy award. This accolade is for the best players in Europe under the age of 21. The nominee list will be cut to 20 in October. 40 journalists across Europe will vote for who will win the 2020 Golden Boy award.
