Liverpool are reportedly showing an interest in signing Boca Juniors midfielder Alan Varela.
The Reds continue to be linked with a host of potential new signings, as the summer transfer window draws ever closer. The likes of Jude Bellingham and Mason Mount continue to dominate much of the rumour mill when it comes to Liverpool.
However, the latest report suggests that the Reds are looking outside of Europe for a potential midfield signing. And they are not alone, with other clubs also said to be in the running.

According to Football Insider, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Varela’s situation at Boca Juniors ahead of the summer. The Reds are joined by Newcastle United and Barcelona as apparently being interested in signing the 21-year-old.
The report states that Liverpool have sent scouts to watch Varela in action in Argentina. It has been claimed that the midfielder could be available for a fee between £16m-£20m.
Varela is an Argentina Under-20s international, and is tipped to have a bright future with his country’s first team, who won the World Cup in December. In January he was linked with the likes of Bournemouth and Benfica, but instead remained in his homeland with Boca Juniors.
