Liverpool's DREAM £100m midfielder is back on the market

Liverpool's dream midfielder appears to be an option once again. He's back on the market.

2023 was a massive year for Liverpool as they sought to sign elite midfielders. They completely rebuilt their base, moving for Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo that year.

But the process wasn't a smooth one. They actually tried to bring in Moises Caicedo before signing Gravenberch, offering a British-record fee to sign the player from Brighton.

The Seagulls accepted the bid but Caicedo said no - he'd already give his word to Chelsea. Liverpool just had to watch on as the Blues completed a deal for him.

And that wasn't even the only time that happened in 2023. January saw Chelsea sign another of Liverpool's prime midfield targets.

But this one might be back on the market.

Enzo Fernandez is available

Liverpool pushed very hard to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica back in early 2023. The Argentine had only just moved there the previous summer but his performances, coupled with a starring role at the 2022 World Cup, prompted a flurry of interest.

The Reds were eager to get him and the likes of O Jogo claimed they were actually his preference. CM Jornal claimed Liverpool offered near £100m. Chelsea, however, blew everyone else out of the water with a gigantic offer and signed Enzo.

He's been a brilliant player for them ever since - but might actually be available again.

Teamtalk claim that Chelsea are willing to sell Enzo for the right price. Real Madrid are interested in him and could look to tempt the Blues into a sale.

It's worth noting that some players at Chelsea are apparently untouchable. Enzo is not one of them.

Now, does that mean Liverpool could sign him? We're not sure. Chelsea would certainly prefer to sell to Real Madrid than the Reds.

Still, we fully expect the club to invest in their midfield later this year. Enzo, one who got away, could be a part of that if Liverpool have the right money to burn.
