Liverpool are understood to be keeping tabs on Benfica’s highly-rated starlet Enzo Fernandez following his impressive displays in Portugal’s top flight.
Fernandez’s terms at Benfica are not due to run out until the summer of 2027 but that has not deterred Liverpool’s interest in making a move for his signature with Jurgen Klopp’s side on the lookout for fresh blood in the transfer market.
According to a report from the Portuguese news outlet UOL Sport, it is claimed that the 21-year-old Benfica talent has emerged on Liverpool’s radar amid speculation that the Merseysiders want to further bolster their engine room come next summer.
Arthur Melo’s arrival from Juventus on deadline day in a season-long deal is reportedly a short-term fix for the injury-stricken Liverpool side who plan to monitor other options with the names of Jude Bellingham and Fernandez doing the rounds.
Bellingham remains Klopp’s long-standing target but any move for the Dortmund sensation will require Liverpool forking out a potential club-record transfer fee for a player who has Europe’s biggest clubs chasing his signature.
