Liverpool are reportedly targeting Boca midfielder Ezequiel Fernandes.

Fluminense were heavily linked with midfielder Andre last summer and the Reds could bring him back in January or next summer.
And it seems he’s not the only South American midfielder on their target list.

At least that’s according to the rumours, which have added Boca’s 21-year-old Ezequiel Fernandez to the mix.

Anyway, this is the latest news from CalcioMercato, but the Italian press have raised their eyebrows, understanding the English club’s interest in the Argentinian player.

But Fernandez might look better on paper, might fit with Andre as a control player rather than a destroyer, and might seem like a more natural fit in a dual rotation than playing as a single six.

If this does indeed represent a favorable profile for Liverpool going forward – and with a staff in place with a big engine in the back eight, it could be achieved – then Fernandes could be an interesting target.

Still, it’s hard to ignore the rumors.
With his name now in the mix, we may be hearing more about the Boca man in the coming months.

As expected, the CalcioMercato rumors received a lot of attention in the Argentine press.

At Liverpool, Jörg Schmadtke currently takes on the role of sporting director, but there are links to Max Eberl, although any approach could depend on Bayern Munich.

The Reds appointed Schmadtke in May, replacing outgoing Julian Ward ahead of a crucial summer transfer window for the club.

Schmadtke signed a one-year contract, which could be renewed after three months, and while he was still in charge, reports circulated that Liverpool were “investigating” former Leipzig sporting director Eberl.

And now Sky Deutschland’s earnest Florian Plettenberg has explained that there are ‘currently’ no ‘concrete discussions or negotiations’ between the two parties as the 50-year-old ‘wants’ to join Bayern.

Eberl comes from Bayern’s academy and has long been expected to take up a role at the reigning Bundesliga champions after being dismissed from his role at Leipzig in September.
His dismissal came after just nine months in the job, which Leipzig described as a “lack of commitment” – he arrived at the club after 13 years at Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Eberl would bring a wealth of experience and expertise to Anfield, with players such as Marco Reus, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Granit Xhaka among his success stories.

But while Plettenberg goes on to claim that Liverpool CEO Billy Hogan and Eberl have a “good relationship” after expressing an interest in coming to Anfield in 2022, the next step “now depends on Bayern”.

Eberl has been tipped by German media to join Bayern and take on the role of director of football for some time now, and Liverpool will certainly be monitoring any developments closely.

Although James Pearce of The Athletic reported earlier this week that “Anfield officials played down reports” that Eberl was being considered at Anfield, that would certainly be negligent on their part.
For now, Schmadtke will remain at Liverpool and only time will tell for how long.

Jurgen Klopp orders Liverpool scouts to keep an eye on a £100m Chelsea transfer target

Jurgen Klopp is weighing up a move for Chelsea transfer target Victor Osimhen and has sent a club scout to keep an eye on the Napoli striker during the international break.

The Nigerian star was due to play for his country against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique in the Algarve last week.

Osimhen played for an hour against the Saudis before succumbing to a hamstring injury in front of one of Klopp’s trusted scouts, according to The Sun.

The Reds, along with their Premier League rivals, are considering capitalizing on Osimhen’s deteriorating relationship with the reigning Serie A champions.

Osimhen’s goals led Napoli to a rare Scudetto victory last season but he was left dejected and disheartened after being mocked by his own club on social media following a missed penalty earlier this month.

Napoli may be reluctant to sell a player valued at £100 million but Liverpool are already making contingency plans ahead of an expected renewed attempt by Saudi Pro League clubs to sign Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool already have a wealth of attacking options and only just over a year ago invested more than £80 million in Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguay international has shown glimpses of potential during his Anfield career so far and has earned cult hero status thanks to his energetic and sometimes erratic style.

Nunez has scored five goals in all competitions so far this season and also scored for Uruguay in their historic win over Brazil earlier this week.

However, the 24-year-old is considered a work in progress, with former Liverpool striker Michael Owen saying he needs “a lot of coaching” after a wayward performance against Union St. Gilloise earlier this month.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Owen said: “It’s either a lack of confidence, a lack of ability or a lack of concentration, but in theory most professional football players should be able to finish it.

“Nothing he does really surprises me, and I mean, he does great things and then terrible things, he has so many holes in his game and I think he has the raw material to be a player high level, but he needs a lot of coaching” and maybe a little more experience.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also monitoring Osimhen’s situation as they themselves have problems in front of goal.

Summer signing Christopher Nkunku is expected to be out until January with a knee injury, leaving Mauricio Pochettino to rely on Nicolas Jackson and Armando Broja, who recently returned from a long break
