He is the new Brazilian jewel, he was champion at Santos and could be Van Dijk's successor at Liverpool

Young defender Jair Cunha, a revelation from Santos, is getting closer and closer to fulfilling his dream of defending one of the biggest clubs in the world. According to information from the English press, Liverpool have been closely monitoring the defender's performance and see him as a promise for the team's future.

Indicated by Slot, Jair could be Van Dijk's replacement

Liverpool's interest in Jair Cunha was reportedly intensified following the appointment of coach Arne Slot. The Dutch coach, known for his attacking style of play and for valuing the development of young players, reportedly saw the potential in Jair to become one of the top defenders in the world. Speculation gains even more strength with the possibility of the departure of captain Virgil van Dijk, who has been the subject of transfer rumors in recent months.

A promising talent

Jair Cunha stood out among Santos' youth teams and quickly caught the attention of football observers. The defender stands out for his refined technique, good ball release and ability to anticipate plays. Furthermore, his versatility allows him to play both as a central defender and as a right-back.

What to expect from a possible transfer?

A transfer for Jair Cunha to Liverpool would be a big step in the young player's career. The Premier League is one of the most competitive championships in the world and Liverpool is one of the most traditional clubs in England. The opportunity to work with a coach like Arne Slot and learn from experienced players would be fundamental to Jair's development.

And Santos?

For Santos, the sale of Jair Cunha would represent a major technical and financial loss. The São Paulo club has been investing in the training of young talents and Jair's departure would be a serious blow to the team's reconstruction project. However, the sale of a promising player like Jair could generate important revenue for the club.
