“The contract has ended.”
Liverpool reportedly paid around $1 million for the player, who will sign a five-year contract. He is a young player with huge potential and could be a solid long-term investment for the club.

Martinez could be a future star
The opportunity to join a big club like Liverpool would be exciting for the youngster. He will look to force his way into their first plans in the coming seasons. Exposure to English football could help him develop further and fulfill his potential.
The investment is nominal and could turn into a big deal in the future if Martinez adapts quickly to English football and fulfills his potential at Liverpool.
Liverpool, on the other hand, have had a disappointing season and need to bring in quality players during the summer. Investing in the future is exciting, but we need players who can make an immediate impact. It remains to be seen whether they can fill the gaps in the team this summer.
