Liverpool are ramping up their transfer plans in Brazil.

As the Reds are being linked with a bumper bid for Vasco da Gama striker Talles Magno, a second youngster is on their radar.

Sao Paulo wonderboy Gustavo Maia is also on Liverpool's shopping list and they're prepared to offer €4m for the prospect.

Barcelona have first refusal on Maia, though are yet to act and the clause is due to expire in mid-July.

As such, Liverpool have been encouraged and are set to launch a bid for the 19 year-old.
