Liverpool have confirmed the free-agent arrival of midfielder Patrik Farkas, who previously left the club at under-16 level to join Blackburn.

Farkas’s return places him at Liverpool alongside his brother Erik, who currently plays for the club’s under-18 team. Erik is reportedly expected to sign a professional contract, although the available material does not confirm that this has occurred.

According to Liverpool’s official website and a Yahoo Sports report, the brothers are set to become the club’s first brother duo to represent Liverpool in more than 100 years. The claim follows earlier Liverpool sibling pairings including John and Tom Miller and Elisha and Billy Scott.

The move comes amid discussion about Liverpool’s midfield options under manager Andoni Iraola. Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Trey Nyoni are identified as existing choices, while Lamine Camara is reportedly on the club’s transfer shortlist.
