Fabrizio Romano drops emphatic update on 23y/o after ‘many questions from Liverpool fans’

Fabrizio Romano has ruled out a deadline day Liverpool swoop for a midfielder who’d been linked with the Reds throughout the summer.

Earlier this month, Steve Kay told KS1 TV that Porto’s Alan Varela was being headhunted by Anfield chiefs, amid claims that CEO of Football Michael Edwards and head coach Arne Slot ‘absolutely love’ the 23-year-old.

However, in his Daily Briefing on Friday morning, the Italian transfer reporter insisted that the Portuguese outfit have had ‘no contact’ from the Merseysiders in recent weeks.
