Liverpool reignite chase for in-demand Argentinian midfield star Big changes are coming to Liverpool’s midfield this summer. The Reds last had a refit in that sector back in 2023 - when Jurgen Klopp and Jorg Schmadtke oversaw a full restock. Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch all came on board - providing the bedrock for the 2024/25 Premier League title win.
But the form of Gravenberch and Mac Allister - not to mention the uncertain contract situation for Curtis Jones - have led to reports that the Anfield club may be in the market for reinforcements. Liverpool back in for Alan Varela According to Germán García Grova on X - an Argentine journalist - Liverpool recruiters may now come back in for an old flame in the shape of Alan Varela. The Argentina international has just clinched the Portuguese league title with Porto under Francesco Farioli and is set to leave the Dragons this summer.
“Alan Varela would leave Porto in this transfer window,” he writes. “Man Utd, Liverpool and other clubs are after the Argentine midfielder according to European media reports. “His contract with the Portuguese team expires in June 2030.
” Liverpool need midfielders this summer Liverpool were first linked with Varela back when Klopp was still in charge. They were particularly impressed with his performances over two legs in the Champions League against Arsenal that season - and considered paying his release clause. The former Boca Juniors player ultimately stayed put - winning his first title this season - but could now be set for a move to a European superclub.
