Lusitanian sports daily A Bola commented today that the arrival of Brazilian Arthur on the last day of the transfer window helped Liverpool overcome some problems in midfield but that is not the definitive option that German manager Jurgen Klopp is looking for, so he already has other options in mind for the next transfer window and would again be interested in a player from the Portuguese league.

The German coach has set his sights on Fernandez, who was recently called up by Lionel Scaloni to the Argentina squad for the friendlies against Honduras on 23 September and Jamaica on 27 September in the United States. Fernandez, for whom Benfica paid 10,000,000 euros for 75% of the transfer, is not the only option for Klopp, who could also be interested in England's Jude Bellingham, who plays for German club Borussia Dortmund, or Portugal's Matheus Nunes of Wolverhampton.
