Liverpool fans might be buzzing with excitement over a possible new signing, if a cheeky online update is to be believed!
With the Reds actively searching for a defensive midfielder this month, Steve Kay revealed on The Transfer Exchange Show on KS1 TV that Richard Hughes is targeting Porto’s Alan Varela.
In a playful twist, someone eager about the potential transfer—or perhaps just looking to stir things up—has edited Varela’s Wikipedia page to claim the 23-year-old Argentine has already joined Liverpool.
The altered entry now begins with: “Alan Gonzalo Varela (born 4 July 2001) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a defensive or central midfielder for Premier League club Liverpool FC.” The information box also lists Liverpool as his “current team.”
It’s likely that Wikipedia admins will soon correct this misinformation, but the prank highlights the high anticipation for new signings among Liverpool supporters this month.
