Liverpool are once again being linked with Alan Varela, and the Porto midfielder looks like exactly the type of player who could make sense if the club decide to strengthen the base of their midfield this summer.

His season stats show the kind of player he is. His value comes from his defensive work, passing security and ability to keep Porto balanced.

His market value is believed to be around €30m to €35m, but that does not mean Porto would accept anything close to that. Reports have suggested his release clause could be as high as €75m or even €90m, and Porto have a strong history of demanding major fees for their best assets.
