The 19-year-old currently plays for Brazilian club Coritiba and they have reportedly offered the highly-rated youngster to Liverpool ahead of the two Spanish giants, who have both been monitoring his progression since he moved into top flight football in Brazil this season.
Since making his senior debut in 2007, after coming through the youth system at Coritiba, he has a strike rate of better than one in every two games, with 54 strikes in 100 appearances.
It remains to be seen if Rafa Benitez decides to take a gamble on the player in January, but there appears to be no shortage of potential European buyers if he does not.
Liverpool are known to have a big scouting network in South America, with the Reds able to snap up the likes of Lucas ahead of other interested parties.
