Chelsea made a bid for World Cup champion Fernandez of Argentina this month, but Benfica resisted because his £103 million release clause was not reached.

As Klopp is given the chance to remake his Reds team back into the champions they once were, Liverpool’s midfield appears to be slated for an overhaul in the summer.
