Klopp already knows Enzo Fernandez's price tag, wants to sign him in January

Enzo Fernández has become one of the most sought-after players in European football in recent months. His impressive performances for River Plate, Benfica and the Argentina national team, where he played a key role in the victory over Mexico at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, have put him in the sights of several top European clubs, including Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool.

Benfica are not very interested in selling him, but they know it will be complicated to keep him due to his impressive development in recent months. And, given the interest of the big teams, they have set the asking price for the Argentinian. According to several media outlets in Portugal and the Mirror newspaper in England, Benfica have told all the big clubs in Europe that they will only let Enzo Fernandez leave in the next summer transfer window for 100 million euros.

A crazy price to pay considering he is so young and is only just getting his first taste of top-level football. The Argentine looks set to start Argentina's match against Poland in the final group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup. Liverpool have him as a plan B in case the signing of Jude Bellingham fails. Manchester United also want him to boost their midfield rotation.

Enzo Fernandez already sounded in Argentina as one of the big stars of international football to take into account. But the truth is that nobody expected the former River player to adapt as quickly and efficiently as he has done with Benfica. The South American midfielder has been one of the sensations in Europe, with several big teams chasing him. However, three clubs are a step above the rest of the suitors when it comes to making a move for him.

Klopp has been tracking him for months

At just 21 years of age, the Argentine has emerged as one of the best midfielders in the world today and there are already a host of clubs after him. Liverpool will contact Benfica to get a first-hand look at his situation and to find out more or less what price they would be willing to accept to let their promising youngster leave. Enzo Fernandez is a very complete midfielder, capable of attacking and defending in equal measure.
