Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly expressed an interest in making an audacious move for in-demand Benfica youngster Gedson Fernandes.
The 20-year-old midfielder has already been linked with a move to Premier League giants with the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool.
Fernandes’s representatives are rumoured to have been in England last week with potential suitors.
Liverpool have reportedly enquired about the availability of Benfica centre-back Francisco Reis Ferreira, according to Portuguese outlet Record.
The 21-year-old defender, also known as Ferro, is currently under contract with the Portuguese outfit until 2023 and has a €100m release clause in his contract.
Real Madrid have reportedly expressed an interest in making an audacious move for Benfica youngster Joao Felix, although the player’s reported €120m release clause could be set to increase.
The 19-year-old Portuguese has been impressive in his homeland so far this season, scoring eight times and registering three assists in 21 appearances.
Manchester United head-coach Jose Mourinho ramped up his interest in Alex Grimaldo from Benfica, according to The Sun.
The Spain under-21 international is said to have been monitored by the Red Devils’ scouts, while manager Mourinho got to watch him up close during United’s 1-0 win over Benfica at Champions League Group stage earlier this week.
