Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport now suggest that Liverpool are one of three clubs interested in signing Fernandez. AC Milan and Benfica are also believed to be interested and scouts will no doubt flock to watch him play against Fluminense.
Fernandez, 21, hails from Buenos Aires and has been rising through the ranks at Boca for more than a decade.
The defensive midfielder was on loan at Tigre last year but is now a key player for Boca.
The Argentine midfielder, targeted by Liverpool and Benfica, is being compared to Enzo Fernandez as the Reds look to potentially avoid missing out this time.
Alexis Mac Allister is a big fan of Ezequiel Fernandez
One man Liverpool would like to see Fernandez on is midfielder Alexis MacAllister. Mac Allister – speaking as a Brighton and Hove Albion player – told Argentinian publication TyC Sports earlier this year that he loved Fernandez.
Mac Allister suggested that if Brighton asked him to recommend signing the Argentine, he would choose Fernandez.
“If you ask me more about my style, there is one player that I really like and that is Equi Fernández. He is a player that has every chance to go to Europe one day and I hope that can happen to him,” said MacAllister. .
– He is a player I really like, he understands the game a lot. He is always ready to receive the ball, plays with two feet, can play as a fifth, as an inside player… he is a player with certain very good conditions and if Brighton asked, he would name it. ” he added.
Fast forward a few months and Fernandez finds himself on Liverpool’s radar, and Mac Allister will no doubt be delighted by his compatriot’s arrival at Anfield.
Mac Allister holds former club Boca close to his heart and has been keeping an eye on Fernandez’s progress, which could lead to a reunion at Liverpool.
