Liverpool Target Young Winger Oskar Pietuszewski

Liverpool is eyeing a move for Oskar Pietuszewski, a teenage winger making waves at FC Porto. The 17-year-old has been compared to Luis Diaz, a player Liverpool signed for £37.5 million in January 2022. Diaz quickly became a fan favorite, playing a crucial role in Liverpool's Premier League title win last season before moving to Bayern Munich.

Pietuszewski joined Porto from Jagiellonia Bialystok earlier this year and has already made a significant impact. He has a €60 million (£51.9 million) release clause in his contract, which runs until 2029. However, Porto is reportedly looking to extend his contract and increase that release clause, aware of the interest from major European clubs.

Despite not turning 18 until later this month, Pietuszewski has already played 70 senior matches and scored three goals in his first 14 league games for Porto. His dribbling skills have earned him praise, with a tactical analysis calling him the 'crown jewel of Polish youth football.' Even Robert Lewandowski has chimed in, labeling him 'undoubtedly spectacular.'

Pietuszewski shares several traits with Diaz: agile footwork, lightning acceleration, and a strong mentality. While his goal tally at the senior level is modest, the potential is clear. Liverpool fans will be watching closely to see if this young talent can replicate the success of his predecessor.
