The Wikipedia article for Benfica star Enzo Fernandez was altered to include a reference to Liverpool.
Fernandez has been heavily linked with a move to the Reds. He is currently starring for Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and last night helped his country reach the final as they beat a Croatia side featuring Liverpool old boy Dejan Lovren 3-0.
Reports over the last week have ramped up the apparent interest from the Reds in signing Fernandez. Various outlets from Portugal have claimed that a deal has been struck with some even going so far as to say the 21-year-old has already signed a “pre-agreement” to move to Anfield next summer.

Against that backdrop, this afternoon there was a change to Fernandez's Wikipedia article.
The page listed Fernandez as currently being a Liverpool player. It even said that he has the number 13 squad number, despite Adrian currently having that number.
Fernandez only signed for Benfica in the summer from Argentinian club River Plate for £16m. It has been reported that the player has a £103m release clause in his contract.
His Wikipedia page has since been changed to reflect the fact that, yes, he remains a Benfica player. For now at least.
