Liverpool target Enzo Fernandez isn't the only midfielder being eyed up by the Premier League side, with Atalanta 's Giorgio Scalvini also reported to be on their radar.
Benfica and Argentina star Fernandez has been a stand-out performer at the World Cup, scoring in his team's crucial group stage victory over Mexico and playing the full 120 minutes as Lionel Scaloni's side beat the Netherlands in the quarter-finals. His release clause of €120m (£102.9m) might be too steep for a January move, though, despite reports of an agreement in principle being in place.
Italian teenager Scalvini could be a cheaper option, with a figure in the region of €40m touted for a youngster who made his senior international debut this year. However, it doesn't appear to be a case of either-or as far as Liverpool's recruitment is concerned.
