Fabrizio Romano confirms a secret Liverpool approach for an £85m Premier League anchor, but rival interest from Man Utd could completely ruin the deal. Liverpool have officially stepped up their hunt for a new midfielder, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming the Reds have made contact over one of the Premier League’s most in-demand talents.

Liverpool’s recruitment team clearly agree. Following reports earlier this month that the Reds had inquired about West Ham United’s Matheus Fernandes, Fabrizio Romano has now confirmed on his YouTube channel that Liverpool did indeed touch base at the end of May.

It means Liverpool are working on midfielders.” While Fernandes is a fantastic defensive midfielder, the financial realities of the deal look set to scupper a move to Anfield. As things stand, Liverpool’s immediate focus remains on securing a new winger, with Yan Diomande still high on the club’s wishlist.
