Liverpool has been named as a potential suitor for Sunderland star Chris Rigg, but Manchester United is pushing hardest at this stage.

Liverpool is among the clubs showing an interest in Sunderland wonderkid Chris Rigg. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder could be available for around £25 million in the summer transfer window. Sunderland have previously resisted approaches for him, but they are now resigned to losing him and will be prepared to let him go for a big fee.

Liverpool, along with other top clubs, have been linked with Chris Rigg, the England under-18s international. Sunderland have made it clear that they won't entertain bids of any price for Rigg in the January transfer window. Rigg’s valuation could rise by the end of the season if his current form continues.

Liverpool are interested in signing Sunderland's 17-year-old midfielder Chris Rigg. Sunderland wants to keep him until at least the summer, but interest from Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund may lead to offers if they don't secure promotion. Liverpool is monitoring his progress closely.
