Jorge Mendes could hold key again to Liverpool midfield signing
Portugal has certainly proven to be a growing market in recent years following the success of Cristinao Ronaldo, with the likes of Ederson, Jan Oblak, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Eder Militao and Bruno Fernandes moving on to flourish in major European leagues. Meanwhile, off the back of winning the World Cup, Enzo Fernandez has caught the eye in a poor Chelsea side since his British record £106.8m switch from Benfica last summer.
Liverpool had been heavily linked with the Argentine, ahead of a planned midfield revamp, but no move was forthcoming. How much of a knock-on effect such a fee had in the Reds being priced out of a move for fellow target Jude Bellingham, only club bosses would be able to answer definitively.
