A new jewel for Anfield? Liverpool ready to splash £40 million on Valencia wonderkid
English giants Liverpool have officially confirmed their interest in signing Valencia and Spain U21 rising star David Otorbi.
Details: According to respected outlet Football Insider, the Merseyside club's recruitment department has been closely monitoring the rapid development of the 19-year-old wide midfielder for many months. The promising player's current contract with Los Che includes a £40 million release clause, and the Reds are seriously considering triggering it.
At the club, they believe Otorbi's explosive pace, aggressive one-on-one dribbling and football intelligence make him an ideal investment for the future of the team's attack. Despite the Spaniards' reluctance to part with their prized asset, the presence of a fixed buyout clause leaves the fate of the deal in the hands of the English giants' representatives.
It is worth noting that David Otorbi became one of the youngest debutants in Valencia's century-long history and has also regularly represented Spain's youth and U21 teams at various age levels.
