However, the same article states that the Reds are the team showing the greater interest in the 19-year-old central defender as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his team ahead of next campaign.
There have been widespread reports that the Gunners are set to meet the centre-half’s €15m buyout clause, but the same report says that Liverpool is currently the player’s most likely destination.
Should the Reds conclude a transfer deal to land Leite this summer transfer window, Liverpool plan to send the defender out on loan next campaign so he can get regular first-team playing chance.

The champions league finalists are likely to be strongly linked with a number of players in the coming months as Liverpool look to build a team capable of winning the English Premier League title next term.
