Álvaro Fernandez Carrera, a player for Benfica, has been in the spotlight in the last month for the "Reds" team. As reported by AS, Liverpool is interested in the young Spaniard after his impressive performance against Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League.

Álvaro, a product of the Real Madrid academy, made the move to sign with Manchester United in 2022, arriving on a free transfer from the Madrid team. His strong performances with Granada caught Benfica's attention for a loan deal in 2023, leading to the Portuguese club purchasing the young talent for 6 million euros in 2024.

The young Spaniard has proven to be a defender with great potential. His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him an appealing option for the Reds, who are seeking versatile players on the field. Liverpool's playing style, characterized by high pressure and dynamism on the wings, would align well with the Spanish player's skills, as he has experience adapting to tactically demanding systems.

One key factor that has put Liverpool in the race for Álvaro is their recent track record with young talents. Under the guidance of Arne Slot, players like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson have flourished in defensive roles, suggesting that Fernández's arrival could continue this trend of success. Additionally, Fernández would bring internal competition, a crucial element for maintaining the team's high performance across all competitions.

Following his recent signing, Benfica will not let him go.

On the other hand, Benfica would not easily part ways with one of their defensive prospects. There are rumors that the transfer fee could reach around 30 million euros for the young Spaniard, given his contract with Benfica tying him to the club until June 2029. This sets the stage for tough negotiations for the "Reds," who see the addition of the Ferrol native as a promising option for the coming years.
