Vasco da Gama are prepared to sell Liverpool target Talles Magno.

he forward was part of the Brazil team that won the FIFA Under-17 World Cup on home soil last year, scoring two goals during their successful campaign. He has now moved on to their Under-19 side and has scored three times in six appearances.

Fully aware of his potential, Vasco signed Magno to a new contract last November lasting until 2022 and with a £45million release clause.

But Yahoo Esportes says Liverpool have made contact to determine whether a transfer is possible at the current time.

It is believed that cash-strapped Vasco may be willing to sell Magno for as little as £18m but the Brazilian club will hope for a bidding war.
