With the return of club football this week, speculation continues to grow regarding Liverpool’s January transfer plans.
Enzo Fernández has been associated with the club for several weeks now, though his price may have increased given his performances on football’s biggest stage: the World Cup. He was awarded Young Player of the Tournament shortly after being crowned world champion last night and played a key role in the Argentines’ drive to lift the prestigious trophy.
Reports circulated last week suggesting that an agreement was already in place between Benfica and the Merseyside side. Diario La Capital pointed out that the English team “already has an agreement in principle with the Portuguese club to incorporate the young Argentine midfielder from June 2023.”
Sources on both sides have since dismissed the claims, however there is evident interest from Liverpool due to the links.
