Joao Pedro Linked With Move to Liverpool Despite Agreement to Join Watford in 2020

Despite having already signed an agreement to join Watford in 2020, Fluminense striker Joao Pedro has been linked with a move to Premier League rivals Liverpool.

The Brazilian side had reached an agreement with the Hornets over the sale of the 17-year-old in September 2018, although they must wait until January 2020, when the forward is 18, before signing the contract.

Despite already receiving €2.5m from Watford to help push the deal over the line, Globoesporte are now reporting that the deal is in danger of collapsing altogether, with Liverpool

cited as one of many European sides still interested in the forward.
