Liverpool challenge Benfica for Chicago Fire teenager Jhon Duran

Liverpool are among the teams chasing the signature of Chicago Fire teenager Jhon Duran.

The talented 19-year-old has been linked with a move to Portuguese giants Benfica as well.

Per journalist Raffaele Amato, the Reds are making a concrete move to bring Duran to England.

However, they will have to compete with Benfica, who can likely offer more first team football at a faster pace.

Benfica could be looking to replace midfielder Enzo Fernandez, who is being linked with a move to Liverpool among other teams.

If they lose Fernandez, the signing of Duran would be an efficient way for Benfica to maintain their squad quality.
