‘Appreciated by Liverpool’: Fabrizio Romano claims FSG stance on £106m player

 


Fabrizio Romano has reported on his YouTube channel that although Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are interested in Enzo Fernandez, club owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) are not going to pay €120 million (£106 million) in transfer fees for the Benfica midfielder in the January transfer window.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has claimed that Liverpool have no plans to trigger Fernandez’s release clause of €120 million (£106 million).

Romano has added that Liverpool’s main midfield target is Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023, but the Italian journalist has said that things could change regarding the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners and the 21-year-old, who won the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina.

As reported by 90min, Chelsea are determined to bring Fernandez to Stamford Bridge in the January transfer window, but the Blues are not able to agree on a fee with Benfica.


Liverpool stance on Enzo Fernandez

Romano said: “They are focusing on Jude Bellingham, but we know that Liverpool also had an interest in Enzo Fernandez, but the rumours from Portugal about Liverpool triggering the clause of €120 million (£106 million) were absolutely not true.

“Liverpool never wanted to invest €120 million (£106 million) in a midfielder in January because their main target is Jude Bellingham because, as of now, he is not available in January.

“Enzo is appreciated by Liverpool, but they never made that proposal and they never triggered that clause, but in the summer it could be a different story.”


Sensible

In our opinion, it is sensible for FSG not to sign Enzo Fernandez for €120 million (£106 million) for Liverpool in the January transfer window.

Yes, the 21-year-old is a very talented and promising young midfielder, but he joined Benfica from River Plate only in the summer of 2022.

You simply cannot pay €120 million (£106 million) on a young player who has not completed even a full season in Europe yet.

Yes, Chelsea seem keen on Fernandez, but Liverpool owners do not have the same financial might and do tend to spend their money more carefully.

Liverpool set to make official move for 24-year-old midfielder valued at£39.8m

Image
  Liverpool have reportedly reignited their interest in Matheus Nunes and are weighing up a £44m swoop for the Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder. The Portugal international was heavily linked with a move to Anfield during the summer transfer window, but Jurgen Klopp’s side decided against spending big on a new lynchpin. Still determined to test himself in the Premier League, Nunes became the latest Portuguese player to arrive at Wolves, who paid €45m (£39.8m) to bring the 24-year-old to the club from Sporting Lisbon. Nunes has one assist to show from 14 Premier League games for Julen Lopetegui’s side, and he is under contract at Molineux until 2027 with an option to extend for an additional 12 months. However, Nunes’s efforts have not been able to prevent Wolves’ slide down the table, with Lopetegui’s men sat 19th in the rankings after taking just 13 points from 17 games. Should Wolves drop back down to the Championship, Nunes would not be e...

(Video) Thiago’s three brilliant defensive challenges that demonstrate his Anfield dominance

  Thiago Alcantara had yet another brilliant display for Liverpool and it wasn’t just his usual passing and attacking prowess that was on show but his tackling and defensive abilities too. One video has been created to show three instances when our No.6 won the ball back inside his own half and they were all done with the usual style and class we are used to seeing from the Spain international. It wasn’t the best display from Jurgen Klopp’s squad but the 31-year-old could leave the pitch with his head held high, after helping the Reds secure all three points. Let’s hope his form continues and that we can extend our run of four successive victories in the Premier League. He is immense pic.twitter.com/KdobOK8Feh — - (@PassLikeThiago) December 31, 2022

Bayern Munich eyeing up another Liverpool star – Likely far cheaper than Mané deal

Image
 With a few clubs, including Manchester United, reportedly interested in Eric Choupo-Moting, currently at Bayern Munich, the Bavarian side are preparing for the worst. Having already lost Robert Lewandowski in the summer, the Bundesliga giants have had to rely on the Cameroon international more often than not, but his contract expires in the summer. This has made him attractive for many clubs in January, which is why Bayern Munich are looking at Liverpool for a potential replacement. This is because the Reds have a player in a similar situation as Choupo-Moting in Roberto Firmino, whose contract at Anfield expires in the summer. There have been reports the Brazilian wouldn’t mind extending at Liverpool, but he will take his time to evaluate what his future can bring him. Media Foot in France suggest that could include a transfer back to Germany, where he initially made a name for himself at Hoffenheim. The outlet explain the Liverpool forward ‘is among the profiles studied’ by...
