Liverpool keeping tabs on FC Porto's star midfielder, Alan Varela and getting ready to make the €70 million move this summer
Liverpool has emerged as a candidate in the hunt to recruit promising Argentine midfielder Alan Varela, who is now with FC Porto and has a €70 million release clause in his contract.
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Liverpool dispatched scouts to watch star midfielder Varela play over the weekend. Chelsea was also there in the encounter against Vitoria SC.
It will be interesting to see if Jurgen Klopp‘s side follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the Argentine midfielder in the summer. They could use someone like Varela in the squad for sure.
It is no secret that Liverpool require a strong defensive midfielder. Varela should prove to be a long-term investment for them. He and his compatriot Alexis Mac Allister have the potential to make a strong partnership in the Liverpool midfield.
The 22-year-old will want to compete at the highest level. Liverpool might provide him with the opportunity. The midfielder possesses the physical and technical skills required to prosper in English football. He has the potential to become a top-tier player for the Reds.
He will protect the back four while allowing the creative players more freedom. Varela is still only 22, and with the correct supervision, he has the potential to make significant improvements.
Liverpool wanted to sign a quality defensive midfielder. They went on to sign Wataru Endo from Stuttgart and the Japanese international has been outstanding. However, he is in his thirties and Liverpool need a long-term addition.
Varela seemed to be an excellent fit for them. The South American might complete his midfield for the foreseeable future, allowing them to compete at the highest levels. It’ll be interesting to observe how the scenario develops.
In summation, Alan Varela’s probable arrival at Liverpool is an exciting prospect for the club and its supporters, with the potential to bolster the midfield and secure the team’s future.
