Virals: FC Porto interested in Liverpool winger Harry Wilson

FC Porto are believed to be the latest club interested in signing Liverpool winger Harry Wilson this summer. 

This follows interest from a host of domestic clubs as well as Portuguese top-flight rivals Benfica. 

The Reds are seemingly open to parting ways with the Welshman as the club attempts to raise funds for Jurgen Klopp to make his own signings. 

According to journalist Duncan Castles on the Transfer Window podcast, as cited by The Anfield Buzz on Twitter, Benfica are the latest to throw their hat into the ring for the 24-year-old. 

Wilson has become somewhat of an internal loanee at Liverpool since graduating through the youth ranks. 

Spells with Derby County, Hull City, Bournemouth and most recently Cardiff City have all taken the left-footed starlet away from Merseyside. 

Last season with the Championship club, the 29-cap ace scored seven times and registered another 12 assists in 37 league outings.

The club will certainly be looking to offload fringe players on a permanent basis where possible this summer.

Wilson is one who falls into that category, despite possessing undoubted qualities, with Mohamed Salah, Xherdan Shaqiri and Harvey Elliott ahead in the pecking order there looks to be few opportunities for a first-team breakthrough. 

Valued at £15.3million and contracted until 2023 (Transfermarkt), the Reds have reportedly placed a reasonable £15million price tag on the winger’s head.
