Liverpool 'step up Enzo Fernandez pursuit'

 


Liverpool have reportedly stepped up their pursuit of Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez.

The Argentinian starred for his country at the World Cup in Qatar as he won the Best Young Player award, helping his nation to their first world title since 1986.

According to Portuguese paper O Jogo, Liverpool, alongside their arch-rivals Manchester United, are intensifying their contact with the youngster's representatives with a view to getting a deal over the line and it is likely he will leave in the summer.

Having already rejected bids, Benfica are holding out for the €120m (£106m) release clause in Fernandez's contract, which runs until the summer of 2027, and Liverpool have already been linked with a January move.

The 21-year-old only joined the Portuguese club last summer and after only 24 appearances, he is being linked with big-money to the Premier League.

Overall this season he has managed three goals and five assists, with two of those goals coming in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

Jurgen Klopp knows that he is a man that needs to delve into that transfer kitty and add some players to the squad that can make a real difference to the side – and that has led to all sorts of speculation.

Caoimhin Kelleher drops biggest hint yet about his future

  Caoimhin Kelleher has dropped the biggest hint about his future, and a potential move away from Liverpool. Kelleher is very clearly the second-choice goalkeeper at Liverpool, but that hasn’t stopped him from grabbing the headlines over the past year or so. He helped Liverpool to win the two competitions that he played a lot in last season (the Carabao Cup and FA Cup), and even managed to score a penalty in the Carabao Final last season. He picked up where he left off this season too, helping Liverpool win yet another penalty shootout in the Carabao Cup against Derby County, saving three penalties in the process. He has since commented on his future, as he clearly wants more regular football at 24 years of age. Caoimhin Kelleher’s future He said: “Obviously when I get my chance, I need to take it… That is all I am focusing on really. I just need to be ready so I can step in if there’s an injury or if I’m needed. “I am quite relaxed, so I don’t mind watching, but obviousl...

Liverpool enter the battle to sign 23-year-old French centre-back this month

Image
  Liverpool and Man United are set to fight it out with Chelsea for Evan Ndicka. The 23-year-old centre-back’s current deal will expire in the summer, and he is eligible to discuss a pre-contract this month. Ndicka has attracted interest from all over the world as he has been one of the most fearsome defenders in the European circuit. Evan has been an ever-present in Eintracht Frankfurt defence, establishing himself as one of the best centre-backs in the Bundesliga. Deal negotiations have not been that satisfactory, and the French centre-back will be looking to step ahead when the summer arrives. For the Reds, the 2022/23 campaign has not been kind to them as Jurgen Klopp’s men have struggled to stamp their authority. Van Dijk has been quite error-prone, while the likes of Konate have not been that impressive. A midfielder is high on the agenda. But a defensive rebuild also needs to be done, as both van Dijk and Matip have already entered their thirties. And the German coach will f...
