Liverpool fans may well have their eyes on several midfielders at this year’s World Cup and it now seems there is another name we can take bigger steps towards a possible deal on: Enzo Fernández.
As reported by Portuguese media outlet Report (via @DaveOCKOP): ‘Liverpool have contacted Benfica about Enzo Fernández. They also talk about talking in Spain about a possible pre-agreement with Liverpool’.
The 21-year-old has recorded five appearances and scored one goal for Argentina in Qatar and has helped them reach the World Cup semi-finals, operating impressively in midfield.

Despite only signing for Benfica last summer, there have already been plenty of rumors linking us to the man who still has four and a half years left on his current contract.
Due to the raised profile due to his performances on the bigger international stage and the length of the remaining contract, no matter what fees we know are required after signing Darwin Nunez from the same team, this is certainly not going to be a cheap deal to move from the line.
However, the source of these rumors is so reliable when our Uruguayan striker moved to Anfield, which means we may need to pay a bit of attention to see how this story progresses.
