Liverpool target Yeremi Pino has been told by coach Unai Emery that he is free to leave Villarreal this summer if the right fee comes in.
The Reds have already conducted their attacking business by bringing in Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho, but some feel that there isn’t enough depth in the wide areas.
Pino has starred for Villarreal as a right winger in the last two seasons and even scored four goals in a home game against Espanyol in a true eye-catching performance.
Liverpool have been linked with a move for the forward and the latest reports claim if a club is willing to pay the money, then they’ll secure his signature – it’s as simple as that.
ℹ️❗️𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢: Villarreal is currently preparing themselves for moves to materialise any moment now for winger Yeremi Pino (19) coming from Arsenal and #Liverpool 🔜⏰️
The Spanish side expect him to become the club's most expensive transfer in history 💰

Latest reports on Pino
Speaking to the media, manager Emery gave his update on the transfer speculation surrounding the 19-year-old star.
“If an offer arrives for players like Yeremy Pino, then he will have to leave. We have a responsibility with the club. It is what it is.” Emery told the press.
With Arsenal and Liverpool both linked with the winger, it’s clear that any club is free to move for him as long as the fee is appropriate.
This is from Marca, a Spanish publication that claims: “Yeremy Pino could “end up in the Premier League by the end of the window”.

Villarreal are aware of the interest by the English clubs and are “waiting for the interest to materialize into an offer”.
It’s more likely Arsenal will move for the player, rather than Liverpool, given the Reds’ will only dip into the market for a central midfielder. Although Pino can play almost anywhere in midfield or out wide.
The winger ranks highly in terms of non-penalty goals and non-penalty xG and touches in the opposition box – all three stats ranked in the 70-80th percentile.
He’s also an incredibly hard worker – given his 2.65 blocks per game and 1.75 tackles and 1.20 interceptions per 90.
