Liverpool and Brighton are reportedly interested in 20-year-old Colombian central defender Kevin Mantilla, according to reports.
Sources indicate that both Premier League clubs are actively monitoring the young talent, with a prospective move on their radar in the upcoming month.
Mantilla, presently under contract with Talleres de Cordoba until 2027, has emerged as an enticing prospect for Liverpool. The club, seeking defensive reinforcements, sees the 20-year-old as a potential solid, long-term investment.
The defender’s future hangs in the balance, with the key question being whether Liverpool can secure his services at a reasonable price.
With Joel Matip sidelined due to injury, set to be a free agent in the summer, Mantilla could emerge as an ideal successor. Liverpool, renowned as one of the biggest clubs globally, holds a tempting proposition for the young Colombian, who may see a move to the Premier League as a significant career step.
