Man United and Liverpool in Talks to Sign Sheffield Wednesday Prospect Yisa Alao

Reports point to administration pressure at Wednesday, increasing the likelihood of a January sale.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report both clubs have opened discussions with Wednesday over the 17-year-old left-back, with no agreement announced.
  • Chelsea have also been cited as contenders for the teenager, underscoring top-flight interest.
  • Alao has four senior outings this season, including a full FA Cup debut against Brentford, where stats cited by Fotmob highlighted solid defensive work.
  • Coverage notes Wednesday’s financial strife and relegation risk could force a sale, following earlier concerns the club could not offer him a new deal.
  • Analyses stress Alao’s high ceiling but limited experience, suggesting any buyer would view him as a long-term option rather than an immediate starter.
