# Reds youngster Rafael Camacho attracting interest from Portugal

Liverpool youngster Rafael Camacho is attracting interest from some of Portugal’s top sides amid concerns for his long-term future at Anfield.

[The Daily Mail claims](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6363745/Liverpool-youngster-Rafael-Camacho-attracting-Porto-Benfica-Sporting-Lisbon.html) that Porto, Benfica and Sporting are all keeping a close eye on his situation.

Camacho is highly rated at Anfield and Jurgen Klopp is a known admirer, but there are said to be concerns in the player’s camp about where and how he can break into the Liverpool team.

The 18-year-old is yet to make his first-team debut but has been named on the bench as an unused substitute.

Porto, Benfica and Sporting would all be in a position to offer the player first-team football much sooner than Liverpool would, with the Reds desperate to maintain pace with Manchester City in the Premier League title race.

A host of European clubs are looking to the Premier League in a bid to poach some of the best young players, who are becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of first-team opportunities and Camacho could be the next to go.
