Liverpool have joined Tottenham and Manchester United in the transfer battle for Bruno Fernandes, according to reports in Portugal.
Free-scoring midfielder Fernandes has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said to be looking to finalise a move after the Nations League finals.
But according to Record , the Sporting Lisbon star is now wanted by arch rivals Liverpool and Champions League runners-up Spurs.
His agent, Miguel Pinho is now set to fly to London next week for showdown talks with several interested parties to decide where the future of the 24-year-old Portugal international lies.
Sporting Lisbon appear resigned to losing Fernandes after his stunning season, during which he bagged 32 goals from midfield in all competitions.
They will demand a £71m fee for their captain, with no shortage of interest from the Premier League.
A Bola have reported that United have demanded a meeting with Sporting in a view to wrap up the deal as soon as possible.
It is claimed the Red Devils remain confident of landing their man, who is seen as a key priority in the transfer market.
But Liverpool are believed to be seriously interested, whilst Tottenham's interest is growing as they eye a potential replacement for Christian Eriksen.
Asked about his future last month, Fernandes admitted he has always had a desire to play in the Premier League.
He said: "If an irrefutable proposal for me arrives, and it’s good for the club, let’s get together and decide together.
"I always said that I was an ambitious player and from a very early age I have had a dream of playing in England, where you can live pure football without big controversy, without big cases."
