First bid imminent for attacker - £32m deal has Michael Edwards written all over it

Leeds United are in talks with Liverpool over signing Harry Wilson amid links between the Reds and Raphinha which makes for an interesting story.

While I would have loved to see Wilson get more opportunities at Anfield, if Klopp wanted him in his side, he would have been given a chance a long time ago and it's now in the player's best interest to leave.

He could be of use to Liverpool, however, if it's true that Leeds are a fan of his as it could help the Reds negotiate a better deal for Raphinha but even then, just one year after he moved to Elland Road, it's going to be so tough to sign him.

In his first season, the former Rennes star got 6 goals and 9 assists and could be the best player to replace Xherdan Shaqiri with if the Switzerland international leaves this summer as expected.

As I wrote on Saturday: "He still has three years on his contract with Leeds and so they are under pressure to sell and can therefore demand a massive fee for his services which would likely become an issue for Liverpool.

"If I had to guess, I imagine Leeds would demand anywhere between £50m-£60m for his services and while Liverpool are in the market for a new forward, that is simply too much for the Reds to be spending on a player that would not be guaranteed a starting spot."

Liverpool selling Harry Wilson to Leeds could bring the price down by around £20million if previous player sales are anything to go by.

Michael Edwards somehow managed to negotiate a £19m fee for Dominic Solanke and a £23.5m fee for Rhian Brewster.

The latter failed to score a single goal as the Blades got relegated despite a club record fee being sanctioned to sign him.

Wilson still has two years on his contract and so it shouldn't be too hard to get £20m for his services and if Leeds are interested and assuming they value Raphinha at around £60m, signing the Brazilian for less than what was paid for Diogo Jota would be sensational business.

This kind of deal has Michael Edwards written all over it.
