According to reports, the club is completely unaware that their ‘great’ player has agreed to join Liverpool, but communication has occurred.

According to 90 Min, Benfica are completely unaware of recent reports that Enzo Fernandez is set to join Liverpool, but contact has been made about a possible transfer

Jurgen Klopp plans to reshape his midfield in the coming transfer windows after their struggles at the position this season.

Liverpool has been linked with a number of midfielders ahead of the January transfer window, and sources say a deal for Fernandez is close to completion.

The Reds have already signed a pre-contract with the 21-year-old, according to Argentine outlet La Capital.

According to the report, Klopp’s team believes they have beaten Manchester City and Manchester United to his signature.

However, according to the most recent update on the midfielder’s future, Benfica are completely unaware of his whereabouts.

Benfica is unaware that Fernandez has agreed to join Liverpool.

According to 90 Minutes, Fernandez will be unable to leave Benfica unless his £103 million release clause is met in full.

The Portuguese giants are obviously clueless to any arrangement and the reports are premature.

According to the report, Liverpool is keeping a close eye on Fernandez’s status in Portugal and has spoken with his representation. However, Klopp’s men have only expressed an interest at this point.

Liverpool will have competition for the youngster’s signature, with Real Madrid and Barcelona both thought to be interested.

Fernandez has been instrumental in Argentina’s run to the World Cup final in Qatar. Since scoring a fantastic goal against Mexico in the group stages, the ‘brilliant’ midfielder has started every game.

90 Min further reports that Fernandez is completely focused on winning the World Cup with La Albiceleste, whereas Benfica has no plans to trade their prize asset in January.

Of course, Liverpool has lately been connected with a transfer for Jude Bellingham, and Anfield has been mentioned as a potential destination for World Cup player Sofyan Amrabat.

Liverpool will undoubtedly need to solve their midfield concerns, but this will not be possible in a single transfer window.

Bellingham appears to be their first priority right now, and it appears unlikely that he will be allowed to depart in the middle of the season. The same may be said about Benfica’s stance on Fernandez.

Amrabat appears to be the most likely target for Liverpool next month, but Bellingham and Fernandez will undoubtedly be on their radar for next summer.
