Liverpool linked with forward who saw Chelsea move collapse

Liverpool, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain are being linked with a move to sign Porto forward Samu Omorodion.

The 20-year-old has started the season in fine form for Porto, having joined the Portuguese side from Atletico Madrid for an initial fee of £12.7m in the summer.

Omorodion has scored seven goals in seven appearances across all competitions, including a brace against Manchester United in the Europa League.

The Spain u-21 international saw a proposed move to Chelsea collapse before his transfer to Porto, though interest remains in the player from the Premier League.

Spanish outlet Fichajes have claimed Liverpool and Manchester City are keeping tabs on his progress, following a blistering start in the the Primeira Liga.

Omorodion scored eight La Liga goals on loan at Alaves last season, before forming part of the Spain team that won gold at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Manchester City sold Julian Alvarez to Atletico Madrid in the summer, a deal that facilitated Omorodion’s exit from the Spanish capital, and could look to sign support for Erling Haaland in the upcoming transfer windows.

Paris Saint-Germain also failed to sign a direct replacement for an outgoing forward, following Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid. The Ligue 1 champions held talks with Victor Osimhen in the summer but failed to find an agreement with Napoli.
