Liverpool’s transfer plans seem to be extending beyond the potential appointment of Ruben Amorim as manager, as they reportedly have their sights set on Porto midfielder Alan Varela ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to reports, Liverpool scouts were present at Porto’s recent match to observe Varela, though his performance on the day may not have been his best. Nevertheless, the 22-year-old midfielder has garnered attention for his talents and is now linked with a move to Anfield.
While Liverpool made significant midfield signings last summer, including Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo, the potential departure of Thiago Alcantara could open up space for another addition. However, the club also boasts promising talents like Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott in midfield, which could influence their transfer decisions.
If Liverpool opts not to prioritize Varela, other clubs are likely to enter the race for his signature in the coming months, highlighting the competition for his services.
