Liverpool has made the first move to sign Alan Varela, a midfield player for Porto, by enquiring about his availability.

More players will probably be added as Arne Slot travels to Liverpool this summer in an attempt to construct a club that reflects his vision. Maybe Porto’s Alan Varela will be the first.

A new era at Liverpool awaits after Jurgen Klopp’s nine-year stint came to an end last week. In an attempt to strengthen and revitalise a club that came perilously close to winning the Premier League in 2023–2024, Slot enters with his own ambitions and transfer goals.

According to Argentine journalist Leo Pardizo, the Reds have inquired about a potential trade for Porto midfielder Alan Varela. They do, however, have to contend with strong competition from a number of European teams; there have been reports linking the Argentine to Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

Varela Is of Interest to Liverpool

Perhaps the Reds will sign him as their first summer acquisition.

Slot should concentrate strengthening this area of the game because Liverpool’s midfield was so easily penetrated in the previous season. One may argue that the Merseyside club needs a more natural defensive midfielder than Waturo Endo, despite the fact that Endo had a solid season and Alexis Mac Allister was doing well in the middle of the pitch.

It follows that rumours that Varela is relocating to the northwest of England make sense. The 22-year-old has made an impact in Liga Portugal this season, receiving recognition for his ability to hold onto the ball, screen the back four, and advance. Last summer, he agreed to sign a contract worth up to €11 million to move from Boca Juniors to Porto. With his 26 games played, the squad advanced to the round of 16 of the Champions League and finished third in the Portuguese first division.

The Argentine X account Deportes 24 tweeted, citing Paradizo, that the Reds, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich have made first inquiries about a potential move. According to “This is Anfield,” Varela’s current deal includes a £60.4 million release clause, making him a viable addition for any one of the three teams.

Even if Manchester City may have an advantage over Liverpool and Bayern in luring the highly sought-after player, Slot will be able to give him the chance to play more regular minutes than the other teams. Endo is the only true defensive midfielder on the Anfield team’s roster, therefore there is less competition here than Varela would have elsewhere.

Varela Could Start a New Chapter at Liverpool He could attempt to centre his midfield around the talented Argentine

Slot will have the ability to provide the highly sought-after player with more regular playing time than either Liverpool or Bayern, even though Manchester City may have an advantage over them in attracting him. There is less competition here than Varela would have elsewhere because Endo is the only real defensive midfielder on the Anfield team’s roster.

Varela might begin a fresh chapter with Liverpool. He might try to arrange his midfield to centre on the gifted Argentine
