Sheffield United have reportedly made a £17million bid for Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster and are crucially open to the prospect of a buy-back clause.
Brewster's future has been up in the air in recent weeks, with the 20-year-old forward interesting both Chris Wilder's side and Crystal Palace.
While Palace are reluctant to a deal including a buy-back clause - which the Reds are demanding - the Blades are more open and according to The Sun have made an improved £17m bid today, which includes the option of Jurgen Klopp bringing Brewster back to Anfield for £40million.
The report details that though Brewster would prefer a move to London and therefore Palace, United's willingness to include a buy-back clause means they are now the frontrunners.
However, Palace are prepared to offer more money than the Blades in a bid to land the England Under-17 World Cup winner, but will not allow Liverpool the option to buy Brewster back for a set price in the future.
Alternatively, Roy Hodgson and his staff could switch their attention to Celtic forward Odsonne Edouard as an option up front.
Wilder's interest in Brewster has grown after his side went three Premier League games without a goal at the beginning of the new season and remain pointless following a 1-0 defeat at home to Leeds Utd on Sunday.
Brewster looks set to leave Anfield before the transfer window closes, despite scoring three times in two pre-season games in August.
But with the signing of Diogo Jota, Brewster is now further down the pecking order up front and was not even in the matchday squad for the Reds' 7-2 win against Lincoln City in the Carabao Cup third round on Thursday.
He is yet to score a goal in competitive competition for Liverpool and missed the crucial penalty in the Community Shield shoot-out defeat to Arsenal at the end of last month.
The 20-year-old will however be hoping for a call-up for Liverpool's League Cup fourth round clash against the Gunners on Thursday night.

Crystal Palace should focus on getting a good Centre back instead of going for another forward

well ain't see nothing bad in this deal it's not by force to buy him back if he improve because of the cops blood we can chose him later but as we all know most of English players were overrated we didn't want a signing like Danny Welbeck or what has he done that make some Liverpool fans be on his side team like Liverpool have waited so long we need trophies not to improve players

Klopp really need to give him a chance.. But something is not right as why would he get Jota and let him leave with a bye back clause.. Like he still needs to prove something? additude or what is it? Just wondering
Well that's a way looking at it

well, If we sell him for 16 million and he played like the British Drogbain like 3 years, we can get him for a dirty cheap price
