Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Alvaro Fernandez from Benfica, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also keen.
According to a report from Spanish publication AS, Liverpool will compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid for 21-year-old SL Benfica full-back Alvaro Fernandez Carreras. The Reds have already intensified their efforts to sign the youngster.
Recent reports have also linked the Spaniard with Manchester United. The Red Devils sold the young full-back to the Portuguese club earlier this summer, and he has been a hit for them so far. His performances have attracted the attention of Liverpool, who are looking to secure his signature in the near future.
Liverpool need to start planning for a future without Andrew Robertson, who is in his thirties right now. He will need to be replaced adequately, and Alvaro Fernandez would be a quality long-term addition. The 21-year-old has shown his quality in Portugal, and he is only going to improve with coaching and experience. The opportunity to join Liverpool will be quite exciting for him. The defender might feel that he has unfinished business in English football and he will look to prove himself in the Premier League.
Barcelona and Real Madrid keen
Barcelona are keen on signing the Spaniard as well. They need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, but the Catalan giants have limited resources. They are going through financial difficulties, and it will be interesting to see if they can compete with Liverpool and Real Madrid for the player.
Real Madrid are in a similar situation to that of Liverpool as well. They need to bring in quality long-term alternatives to their first-team stars. Signing a talented young left-back would be a wise decision. They have been linked with Miguel Gutierrez as well. It is evident that Real Madrid are looking to sign a quality full-back and it will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done for the Benfica player.
All three clubs will be exciting destinations for the Spaniard, and it remains to be seen where he ends up. Meanwhile, Manchester United will be thoroughly disappointed if the 21-year-old ends up being a success story with the three aforementioned clubs in the near future.
