Liverpool F.C. and Manchester United could be about to take their rivalry into the transfer market to sign an attacking star, who would instantly break a Premier League record. The Reds are the club to watch in the transfer window right now, having just hijacked Newcastle United's deal to sign Victor Munoz from Osasuna. Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes are ready to back Andoni Iraola, even after spending so big last summer, and it's an open secret that they're after quick wingers. Liverpool's first bid of around £87m for Yan Diomande has been rejected by RB Leipzig, who are demanding closer to £104m. The key criteria for whoever arrives is blistering pace and that could see Liverpool attempt to hijack Man United in the race to sign Matias Fernandez-Pardo. According to Ben Jacobs, Liverpool are now eyeing a move to sign the 21-year-old, who would have been the quickest player in the Champions League last season, beating Manchester City's Abdukodir Khusanov. Fernandez-Pardo isn't just about pace, either - he's also got an eye for goal, having scored eight and created another seven in all competitions last season. If Diomande opts for PSG, Liverpool should shift their full attention to the LOSC Lille star and get one over on Man United in the process. Andoni Iraola will be keen to strengthen his squad after a busy summer, and the signing of Fernandez-Pardo would be a major coup for the Reds. With Fabrizio Romano confirming that Liverpool are set to sign another winger and midfielder after Munoz's arrival, the club's fans will be eager to see who else will be joining the squad. The transfer window is always full of surprises, and Liverpool F.C. are certainly making waves this summer. As the Reds look to build on their recent success, the signing of a player like Fernandez-Pardo would be a major statement of intent. With his pace and goal-scoring ability, he would be a valuable addition to the squad, and would surely excite the fans at Anfield.
