It’s rumoured that the player has a release clause worth €120million (£106m) in his contract with Benfica. Reports have also suggested that Manchester United and Newcastle are also interested in signing the midfielder.
Fernandez has been back in Argentina with his team-mates as he celebrates his country’s triumph in the World Cup. And it’s been reported that the player addressed a crowd of fans in the town of San Martin in his homeland.
When asked about his future, Fernandez apparently played down the speculation linking him with a move to Liverpool.
“I don't know anything about that,” said Fernandez, via Ge Globo.com. “It's up to my agent, I don't want to get involved.
“I'm focused on Benfica, in a few days we have an important game. I have a flight at night to play in the game on Friday.”
The Reds have already agreed a deal to sign Cody Gakpo, with the Netherlands international set to fly into Merseyside for a medical.
