Liverpool and Chelsea will face off for Porto midfielder Ruben Neves, according to A Bola in Portugal.
Neves, 20, has already skippered his club and is one of the most highly-rated youngsters in Europe.
His deal has just two years remaining contains a buyout clause of €40million and according to the Portuguese outlet, he is already intimating that he wants to follow Andre Silva through the exit door.
Neves is currently on Under-21 duty with Portugal and both Chelsea and Liverpool are said to be keen on bringing him to the Premier League.
Porto are demanding a fee of around £30million for the highly-rated youngster, however, so a summer deal for Antonio Conte or Jurgen Klopp will not come cheap.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal expressed a strong interest in Neves last year but a move to England never materialised.
Any developments on his future are likely to be on hold for the coming weeks with Neves on international duty with Portugal's Under-21s.
