The Reds are experiencing tense moments just hours before playing Manchester City in the Carabao Cup

Benfica managed to sign one of the most promising players in international football this summer. The Argentine midfielder, a recent World Cup winner, is on Liverpool's wish list, but his transfer will not be easy. Enzo Fernandez has been on the front pages of the main sports media since his arrival in Europe, dazzling for the Portuguese side.

However, his name has not left the cauldron of the transfer market while 'o glorioso' tries to reduce the heat trying to tie his current star. The Portuguese have settled on a figure in excess of 100 million euros and appear unwilling to budge even though Liverpool, the main target of interest in the Albiceleste pivot, are relentless in their attempts to recruit him for Anfield.

The world champion has put in some great performances, becoming one of the emerging stars of the World Cup in Qatar. That has made him, even more, one of the biggest desires of the best clubs in Europe. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain have become the Reds' direct rivals as, according to the Portuguese media 'O Jogo', the Parisians and Klopp's team will fight in the coming months for the Argentinian pearl in the run-up to 2024.

Liverpool are on the lookout for midfielders who could arrive in the summer transfer window to revamp an area of the pitch where they have struggled. Jordan Henderson and James Milner are close to leaving the elite plus Thiago Alcantara's constant injuries, which mean he is unlikely to be fit for the whole campaign. According to reports from England, the Reds have their sights set on three midfielders for the upcoming summer transfer window.

<strong>PSG also want Enzo Fernández</strong>

Enzo Fernandez: The Argentine midfielder is one of the great revelations of Argentine football. His performances for Benfica and Argentina at the Qatar 2022 World Cup have attracted the attention of several top European clubs, including Real Madrid. Liverpool see him as an ideal midfielder for their game plan. His price tag is around 120 million euros because Benfica will not sell him for less than his buy-out clause.
