The Reds are reportedly considering making a move this summer, partly due to exceptionally positive scouting reports.
Paixão has already scored 14 goals and provided 16 assists in all competitions this season, putting him on the radar of several Premier League and Serie A clubs.
In addition to Liverpool, Arsenal, Napoli and Atalanta are also closely monitoring the Brazilian's situation.
Although Paixão has not yet played in one of the top five leagues, Liverpool scouts see Paixão as a player with the right profile. They firmly believe that the winger has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League. They are impressed by his technical skills and football intelligence, among other things.

Paixao eyed for attacking depth by Liverpool
Liverpool see Paixão as a potential reinforcement for the attacking width. Luis Díaz has been inconsistent and Diogo Jota is regularly injured. As a result, the club wants more options on the wings.
Arsenal also seems to need reinforcement on the flanks. Coach Mikel Arteta relies heavily on Bukayo Saka: neither Gabriel Martinelli nor Leandro Trossard can make their mark every week.
The question is whether Liverpool's interest is not too late. According to Il Mattino , Paixão has already given his yes word to Napoli .
The Italian top club still has to reach an agreement with Feyenoord. The Rotterdammers are said to have an asking price of between 30 and 35 million euros.
