Varela has been compared to ex-Liverpool man Javier Mascherano following his ‘tigerish’ displays for Porto last term. The 22-year-old has a £60m release clause in his deal, therefore he won’t be a cheap option for the Reds should the Portuguese giants stay firm on their valuation. 

 

Despite mounting a title charge last term, Liverpool couldn’t manage to go all the way. Hence, they are reportedly planning to reinforce the squad this summer to challenge for the Premier League once again next season.
