Liverpool fans have expressed their delight at being linked with Sporting Lisbon attacking midfielder Bruno Fernandes by Sport Mediaset journalist Pietro Balzano Prota.

The reporter claims that Manchester United had expressed an interest in signing Fernandes and were actually close to doing so.

However, Jurgen Klopp’s European champions are said to have entered the race, with the Portugal international keen to move to the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur have also previously been credited with an interest, with a Telegraph report claiming that they even entered into talks with his agent over a possible transfer.

And Reds fans have been left giddy at the prospect of both securing a major summer signing and beating bitter rivals United to the punch.

Fernandes enjoyed an outstanding 2018/19 season, scoring 32 goals in all competitions and laying on 18 assists from an attacking midfield position.
