Liverpool are poised to secure the signing of Samuel Martinez from Atletico Nacional, outpacing Bayern Munich for the Colombian under-17 international.
The young attacker is set to join on a five-year contract, with a transfer fee reported at approximately €890,000.
Martinez has drawn comparisons to former Brazil international Kaka due to his technical ability and playing style.
The transfer is scheduled to be finalized in April 2027, once the player reaches the age of 18.
Regarded as one of South America's most promising talents, the attacking midfielder is expected to develop into a key figure with proper guidance.
Liverpool have built a strong reputation for nurturing young players and will aim to help Martinez realize his potential.
The club enters a new era under newly appointed manager Andoni Iraola following a disappointing campaign.
Last season, Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League and ended without a trophy.
For a club of their stature, that outcome was considered unacceptable, and they are now expected to challenge Arsenal and Manchester City for the title.
