Liverpool are reportedly making serious moves to sign Manchester City's highly-rated wonderkid, Xavier Parker, as the teenager's contract enters its final weeks. A fierce battle is brewing between the two Premier League giants for the young talent.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Manchester City are working diligently behind the scenes to tie Parker down to a new deal. Club executives reportedly view him as an elite prospect and are determined to keep him at the Etihad Campus. However, Liverpool are firmly positioned as one of the most interested clubs.
Romano shared on X, "Manchester City are actively working hard to reach an agreement with Xavier Parker camp over new deal. Several clubs appreciate Xavier with Liverpool keen but no decision made yet. Man City trying to keep him as they see Parker as elite talent.”
Adding fuel to the fire, prominent sources indicate that Liverpool have already initiated contract negotiations with Parker and his representatives, with both sides keen to finalize an agreement. A significant factor tilting the scales in Liverpool's favor is the fact that the 16-year-old midfielder is a lifelong fan of the Merseyside club.
Parker is widely expected to depart Manchester City at the end of June when his current contract expires, with a move to Anfield appearing increasingly likely. Amidst this intense pursuit, Manchester City are reportedly already exploring potential replacements for the promising young player.
