We could be preparing something with Enzo Fernandez on the player level (not with Benfica), in case we fail to get Bellingham and need to move quickly to an alternative target.
But still, everything seems unreliable so far.

Well, that is some cover for injuries to Diaz and Jota!

I wonder how much of it could be running interference? Itās been reported ometimes that when two clubs are chasing the same players they may do a gentlemanās agreement to not go after the same players. Real have already been linked with Enzo as they have with Bellingham so perhaps our interest in Enzo is with a view to dropping out if they step away from Bellingham?
Always thought it was a bloke named Dave.
Fabās wife is definitely the boss of that household

Of course. Some of us like that sort of FLR anyway 
Well this thread just took a turnā¦
So Enzo then?
Anyhow if you believe that Real suddenly fancy Bellingham after the World Cup then youāll believe anything.
Then it is Marca and I think their entire readership is based on that premise.

Getting this thread back on trackā¦
Liverpool target Enzo Fernandez, 21, will not be leaving Benfica unless an interested party meets the Argentina midfielderās release clause of 120m euros (Ā£103.2m). (90min)

December 15, so far we have decent links to Bellingham and Enzo, for next summer. One of them is more likely than two, and there will be lots of competition.
Most observers would say we need someone in January, to boost our top four prospects, given the availability record, and old age if relied on too much, of too many of the current midfield group.
Arguably a midfield signing now is paying out too much wages, as we have about nine first team midfielders on the books, but hopefully we take that āoverpaymentā on the chin as we get ready to see up to half the current group depart in summer.
One complicating factor is the injuries starting to hit us in the forward line too.
If we sign one player in January, maybe Kudus should be the one? Versatile enough to help the midfield and the forwards, and when the dust settles on all the expected outgoings and hoped for incomings in summer, Kudus will still very much have a part to play here, in a refreshed and younger squad.
Then again, perhaps we will sign an out and out midfielder, and if it is not one of the two expensive players we are linked with, perhaps Amrabat is the one we go for? Obviously he has had an excellent World Cup, but Iām sure if we sign him it will be based on a much wider data set.
But if we signed Amrabat, what would that say to the current group? I donāt mean players who are expected to leave in summer, like Keita, Ox and Milner. Iām talking about players who are at the older end of the scale, Henderson, Thiago and especially Fabinho, as Amrabat plays in his position.
Peak Fabinho is better than Amrabat. But is peak Fabinho coming back? Is it just form, and tiredness? While that issue is being resolved, we canāt let the games slip by where we keep getting overrun in midfield, so if we do end up signing Amrabat, he replaces Fabinho for me, unless and until Fabinho makes an irresistible case, this season, to be included ahead of the Moroccan machine.
