The Albiceleste sensation has been racking up rave reviews in Qatar and this has reportedly secured him a huge move to England.

Enzo Fernandez is gearing up for Argentina's crucial FIFA World Cup semifinal clash with Croatia, with the South American powerhouse taking to the field on Tuesday for this all-important tie. However, that doesn't look to be the only thing on the player's plate.

According to recent reports, the highly-rated midfielder has secured a dream move to the Premier League. This is as reported by La Capital, with the Argentine news outlet claiming that Liverpool have agreed a deal for the 21-year-old.

The Albiceleste ace currently plays for Benfica, having joined the Portuguese outfit from River Plate last summer. Since joining the Eagles, Enzo has impressed both domestically and in Europe, helping the Primeira Liga outfit win their UEFA Champions League group ahead of PSG this season.

Anfield's sporting director Julian Ward has reportedly reached a pre-contract agreement with Benfica after the midfielder's impressive performances at Qatar 2022 and the English side are set to welcome him to Merseyside in June 2023.

The Reds have been following the Albiceleste ace for some time and decided to keep a close eye on him at the FIFA World Cup. However, Liverpool aren't the only club interested in Fernandez, with Manchester City and Manchester United also keen on recruiting him, hence the urgency from Klopp's crew.

The Premier League giants are in desperate need of midfield reinforcements, hence this report. However, the Reds have been heavily linked with a move for Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham and it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside heavyweights can afford both players.

Whichever club signs Fernandez this summer will be blessed with a talented midfielder. The Benfica ace started the FIFA World Cup campaign on the bench but forced his way into the lineup, scoring a lovely goal in the 2-0 victory over Mexico and starting every single game since.

Regardless of all these transfer rumors, expect Fernandez to be laser-focused on Argentina's upcoming semifinal game. The 21-year-old will go head-to-head with Luka Modric, one of the greatest midfielders of this generation, knowing that the two-time FIFA World Cup winners are only two victories away from a third title.
