FC Porto's versatile attacking midfielder Otavio Monteiro is reportedly attracted to the prospect of interest shown from Liverpool in signing him.According to Portuguese publication Correio da Manha (via Pailsey Gates), Liverpool are not the only side interested in signing the highly rated 26-year-old attacker. Other clubs, including La Liga outfit Valencia and Serie A side Fiorentina, are also said to be monitoring Otavio.However, the prospect of playing at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp appeals to the midfielder, who is keen to join Liverpool if a deal comes through this summer. Otavio has a contract at FC Porto until the summer of 2025 and has a huge release clause of €60 million. However, a clause in his deal would allow him to leave for €40 million but applies only for this month.Liverpool will need to act quickly, not only to beat the competition, but also to sign the 26-year-old at a relatively cheaper price.Monteiro is an extremely versatile player. He is primarily an attacking midfielder but is also capable of playing on either of the flanks. Otavio could also play in midfield as a potential replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum.Also Read: Fabrizio Romano's Transfer Roundup: Lionel Messi makes decision on Barcelona future, Manchester United make €85M bid for Sancho and moreLiverpool show interest in FC Porto attacking midfielder Otávio.
