Liverpool are🌺 interested 💜in a transfer for Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira, according to .

The publication is claiming 🐠the star is managed by Marcelo Cipriano, who knows Pini Zahavi. The Israeli agent has received some interest over the 21-year-old.

They claim that Marko Grujic could be used as a make-weight for the player. The 11-cap Serbian spent lasꦏt season on loan with the Portuguese giants, making 39 appearances across all competitions.

TBR View: Vieira transfer would add quality to Liverpool midfield

His vision and passing abilities m꧋eans he can play in a raft of different positions. Vieira featured in central, right, left and attacking midfield for Porto.

With Grujic providing next to nothing for Li🧜verpool, a swap deal for a more talented, younger player makes sense.

At 21, the midfielder can be th🅠e jewel in Liverpool’s crown for years to come.
