Liverpool have initiated contact with Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez ahead of a possible move in the January transfer window.
Fernández has been in impressive form for Argentina at the World Cup, helping guide his country to the semifinals.
A goal in the group stage was a particular highlight and there will be no doubt that clubs across Europe will be watching their progress in Qatar closely.
Now, according to Record, Liverpool have already contacted Fernández regarding a possible move. The report states that Benfica expects a sale in the coming months.

With Jude Bellingham set to be out of Liverpool’s price range, they have turned their attention to the Argentinian midfielder.
However, Fernández’s release clause currently stands at 120 million euros, and it is difficult for Liverpool to pay such a fee.
If Fernández is actively pushing for him to move, to avoid camp unrest, Benfica may begrudgingly allow him to leave for a lesser fee.
There is no doubt that Benfica will be desperate to keep him, but when Premier League clubs come knocking, it’s hard to turn a player down.
