City Football Group (includes Manchester City and many other clubs) director Joan Patsy has claimed that Enzo Fernandez, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Julian Alvarez understand each other’s game.
Portuguese newspaper O Jogo have claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s side are open to matching any offers for the World Cup winner in 2023.
Record have even suggested that the Reds have already made contact over completing a deal for the Argentine midfielder.
It seems as if the Benfica wonderkid is the club’s plan B, in case the sought-after Jude Bellingham joins either Real Madrid or Man City in the summer.
However, the all-action midfielder with a £105 million release clause is as good as a contingency plan gets for Liverpool.
For starters, the youngster took home the FIFA World Cup Young Player Award after a stunning tournament.
In the World Cup final as well as throughout the competition, the in-demand gem justified the hype around his name by constantly coming up with the goods for his nation.
City Football Group (CFG) director feels Enzo Fernandez and Julian Alvarez have on-pitch chemistry
CFG director, Joan Patsy has discussed the telepathic connection between Enzo Fernandez, who has been touted to join Liverpool and Julian Alvarez.
With Enzo Fernandez, since they played together for two years, in the national team, they understand each other more easily because Enzo immediately knows in which space he [Julian Alvarez] will move”, he told Què T’hi Jugues.
If City come calling for him, Liverpool will have to find a way to get their man
To call a spade a spade, a majority of players would rather join the Sky Blues than Liverpool, looking at the Premier League table.
Even assessing both clubs’ level of success since 2010 is a reflection of the stark contrast between both sides.
However, Liverpool must ensure that they beat Manchester City, if a potential tug-of-war to sign Enzo Fernandez becomes a reality.
Ultimately, their midfield is in dire straits and the addition of such a complete player and that too at such a young age is their biggest transfer priority.
If City swoop in for Enzo Fernandez and Liverpool put all their eggs in the Bellingham-shaped basket, it may be another frustrating summer for the Kop in 2023.
