The second player that Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp should chase is Argentina’s and the Qatar World Cup’s young player of the tournament, Enzo Fernandez. It was reported on GiveMeSport that Enzo Fernández’s current release clause is £102 million.
World Champion Enzo has every attribute in the book required to become one of the best ‘number 6s’ in world football. Pairing him with Thiago as an understudy could help unlock his potential. As a ‘number 6’ or as a part of a double pivot, Enzo fits perfectly into Liverpool’s system.
Enzo is known for his technical ability on the ball. The Argentine has great vision and can carry the ball through midfield to help convert possession into an offensive move. With the ball at his feet, he knows how to draw defenders out and keep the ball while others around him can make space for a pinpoint pass.
He is a tenacious, diligent, and intelligent midfielder who is willing to put in a shift whenever called upon. Other than his offensive abilities, Fernández can win tackles, intercept passes and win possession of the ball while defending.
When you put all this together, Fernández is a versatile midfielder who can help Liverpool in a variety of ways. Still, at the age of 21, Enzo has all the requirements to take his game from strength to strength and become one of the best players in his position for both club and country. The fact that he just won the World Cup and played alongside some of the best players in the world only will help boost his confidence.
