Liverpool FC are reportedly tracking another exciting young talent, with FC Porto winger Oskar Pietuszewski emerging as a potential target.
The 17-year-old has been attracting attention across Europe and, interestingly, has been described as stylistically similar to Luis Díaz — a comparison that will immediately catch the eye of Liverpool supporters.
What we know so far
According to reports, Pietuszewski currently has a £52 million release clause, with Porto already looking to increase that figure as interest grows.
That tells you everything about how highly they rate him.
At just 17, he’s already:
- On the radar of top clubs
- Showing significant attacking potential
- Being compared to an established Liverpool star
Why Liverpool would be interested
This type of move fits Liverpool’s recent approach.
Under Arne Slot, the club appears focused on:
- Young, high-upside talent
- Players who can develop into key figures
- Long-term planning rather than short-term fixes
If Pietuszewski truly mirrors Díaz’s style — direct, quick, aggressive in one-on-one situations — then it’s easy to see why Liverpool are interested.
A familiar profile
The Díaz comparison isn’t just hype — it points to a specific type of player:
- Direct running at defenders
- High energy and intensity
- Ability to create something out of nothing
- A constant attacking threat
That’s exactly what Liverpool have relied on in wide areas in recent years.
My view
Personally, this is an exciting link — but also one that comes with risk.
At 17, £52 million is a huge investment.
That said, if the recruitment team believe he has the potential to develop into the next Díaz-type player, it could be another forward-thinking move.
We’ve seen before how Liverpool can identify and develop talent — and this feels like it could fall into that category.
Final thought
Right now, it’s just interest.
But it’s a reminder of the direction Liverpool seem to be heading — targeting young, dynamic players with high ceilings.
Oskar Pietuszewski might not be a name everyone knows yet…
…but if these links are genuine, he could be one to watch very closely.
