Liverpool’s focus during the summer transfer window will be on rebuilding the midfield following the departures of the likes of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Naby Keita from central midfield.
With mid-season approaching, Jurgen Klopp is ready to get down to business with the signings of Alexis McAllister, Dominic Szoboslai, Ryan Gravenburch and Wataru Endo.
Although they have focused on rebuilding the midfield, the Reds have failed to strengthen their back line, which could indicate what their next transfer plans are.
Klopp’s current options include Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate and Jarel Kwanza, but Matip’s long-term injury leaves the German with just three options in the Premier League.
With Matip out of contract next summer, the Reds may need a new centre-back anyway and FSG are reportedly targeting some reinforcements.
Liverpool transfer newsThe people at Anfield need to start thinking long term before it’s too late. The last thing they need is a repeat of last summer’s problems when they had to rebuild their midfield in the same summer transfer window.
Reports suggest Manchester United could have future options with the club open to offers. According to 90min, Sao Paulo are currently receiving offers to sell Lucas Beraldo, which could be a boost for the Reds.
Liverpool are interested in the 20-year-old and Wolverhampton Wanderers have made a summer bid. The ball now appears to be in Liverpool’s court, with the Brazilian side ready to accept any offer for the defender..
