There is reportedly interest of the two English clubs in the services of the 17-year-old who has since been monitored by scouts of the two sides during this season. To what degree they will rescale that interest to an official proposal for signing the player at the moment remains to be seen.
The highly-rated attacking midfielder as we saw, can position himself both out on the wings and in the middle of the field. He has the attributes which can make him a great playmaker of the future in the near future.
These two teams have over the past few seasons bought young promising players and it will not come as a surprise if they are logically interested in the Serbian. As for Maksimovic he is already an every team player for the Red Star Belgrade having contributed 12 goals and assists in 16 games across all competitions including the Serbian SuperLiga and the UEFA Champions League.
There is huge potential to build him as a target man and if it is done properly he could turn into player like Liverpool and Chelsea sort. He might take some time to find himself in English football but he has the quality which can suit him to English football.
Other clubs in Europe are also monitoring his situation, and it should also be keenly watched and seen whether clubs would come up with an offer to sign the player. Brice has a contract with Red Star Belgrade until June 2027, so he will not be signed cheaply.
Can Liverpool and Chelsea sign the deal?
Liverpool and Chelsea have the financial muscle to lure the club into selling the player and it only remains to wait and see. Sure, the idea of convincing a seventeen-year old should not be such a big issue. He will be happy thinking to compete under the Premier League which will be a step up in his career.
Lionel Messi is one player that is being compared to the player due to style of play as well as talent. They both could nurture a future star for the two English clubs based on his talent alone.
