In the summer transfer window, Liverpool completed the big-money signing of Darwin Nunez from Benfica, and reports suggest that they are interested in signing two more Eagles stars.
Florentino, who recently signed a new contract with the Primeira Liga club, is wanted by a number of top clubs, according to a recent story covered by O Jogo (news image provided below).
According to a reputable Portuguese news source, Liverpool have already made contact to sign the playmaker, who has a massive release clause in his contract worth £104 million (120 million euros).
Florentino is a defensive midfield specialist who has won numerous major domestic titles with Benfica.
The Liga Nos giants have been in top form this season under Roger Schmidt’s management, and the 23-year-old star has been rock solid in the holding midfield role.
At the moment, the Estadio da Luz outfit leads the league table and has only conceded 5 goals this season. Furthermore, they are in a strong position to compete in the Champions League knockout stages.
Our main defensive midfielder at Anfield is Fabinho, who has struggled this season. Henderson, on the other hand, is past his prime, and new signing Arthur has spent most of his time on the treatment table.
As a result, the DM position should be strengthened. Apart from Florentino, O Jogo claims Liverpool is keen on signing Enzo Fernandez, a creative midfielder with a £104 million release clause.
Have your say on who Jurgen Klopp should sign to strengthen Liverpool’s midfield.
