Liverpool have reportedly made initial contact with Boca Juniors to pursue the signing of Ezequiel Fernandez, a long-term target for Arsenal, as per reports from Argentine outlet El Crack Deportivo.
The Reds are currently enjoying a stellar season in 2023/24, sitting atop the Premier League table and making significant progress in various cup competitions. To bolster their ambitions for success across all fronts, manager Jurgen Klopp may be eyeing reinforcements during the January transfer window.
Fernandez emerges as a prime candidate for Liverpool’s midfield, with Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister reportedly endorsing his fellow countryman to Klopp. Mac Allister, who joined Liverpool last summer, has enjoyed a commendable stint at the club, and his recommendation could carry weight in the Reds’ pursuit of Fernandez.
Arsenal, too, have shown interest in acquiring Fernandez’s services, possibly seeking to enhance their midfield depth amid potential departures. Fernandez’s impressive performances as a defensive midfielder for Boca Juniors, coupled with his international experience with Argentina at youth levels, underline his promising potential.
Liverpool’s knack for scouting and nurturing talents into elite players suggests that Fernandez could be the next gem in their development pipeline.
In preparation for the EFL Cup final against Chelsea, Klopp has hinted at deploying their tried-and-tested secret weapon – the expertise of Niklas Hausler and Patrick Hantschke from neuro11.
Specializing in mental strength and health programs for sports teams, neuro11 has been instrumental in Liverpool’s set-piece strategies, especially crucial in high-pressure scenarios like penalty shootouts.
As Klopp approaches his final EFL Cup campaign as Liverpool’s manager before stepping down at the end of the season, he remains resolute in his commitment to securing silverware for the club. With meticulous planning and strategic support, Liverpool aims to replicate their previous EFL Cup triumphs and add another accolade to Klopp’s illustrious tenure.
